Ben wore dark jeans, a black t-shirt and grey trainers on the casual outing.
Seraphina lugged a large backpack over her pale blue school dress and navy blazer.
Meanwhile, Ben's estranged wife Jennifer says she thinks it is 'so important' that she is a role model for her children.
The 13 Going on 30 star - who also shares Violet, 10 and Samuel, four, with the Argo actor - is involved in a lot of philanthropy work, something which she feels sets a good example for her children.

She told Entertainment Tonight: 'That's really important at home, to make sure that our kids know that we both have causes that we care so much about ... that we dedicate time, resources, and our energy toward making our own little slice of the world a little bit better ...
'It's so important that you model for your kids how to be a citizen of the world, and I think that's the very best thing you can do.'
Meanwhile, Ben and Jennifer are reportedly 'still figuring things out' despite it being over a year since they announced they were splitting up.
A source said: 'They're still figuring things out. Ben still doesn't want the divorce and he might actually get his way. She had the best time in Europe with Ben and the kids. She seemed much happier when she returned to L.A. Jen went from being very adamant that a divorce would happen to instead avoiding any divorce talk.
