Talk about a creative day out!

On Tuesday, Suri Cruise stepped out for an afternoon filled with arts and crafts in New York City with her mom, Katie Holmes, and her grandmother, Kathleen, at Make Meaning on the Upper East Side.

Right away, Suri ran towards the toys – but this wasn't a shopping trip. Instead of treating her to new trinkets, the trio ended up on the second floor, not in a private room, painting ceramics.
Suri went after "every color in the rainbow," says a source at Make Meaning, which offers up to 50 activities, including jewelry making. She even tried her hand at decorating mugs, ceramic unicorns and a dog bowl.

"Katie was very hands-on," says the source. "There was a lot of back and forth between mother and daughter. Suri was totally immersed in the creativity." – Catherine Kast
