Answer 1

i do a craft with my kids every year....maybe you could try it.get a couple of large pieces of poster board...tape short sides on back to make one long piece.(its to fit a front door)  have the kids help you draw a "skeleton"tree to fill the space on the posterboard. then, make simple patterns for leaves on construction paper...greens,yellows,reds for fall. tape tree poster to door. tape two ziplock bags to bottom of it,put a marker and tape in one, and leaves in the other.above the ziplock bag, write a note....this is our thankfulness tree. please "leaf" us with something you are thankful for. my kids love coming home every day and not only adding new leaves to their tree, but reading the new leaves which appear every day.

Online, you can check out the Oriental Trading Company for special crafts for these seasons.  They often sell in lots of a dozen or more, so it's good for groups.  

For ordinary crafts (save the OTC ones for special days) you can do things like a paper plate Jack-o-lantern mask, ghost lollipops (wrap a single sheet of facial tissue over a round lollipop, like a TootsiePop or a BlowPop, and tie a piece of yarn under its chin and draw on eyes to make a cute little ghostie,) yarn dolls for little scarecrows, and so on.  

Thanksgiving is harder, but there's always cut-out handprints in autumn leaf colors glued to an outline of a tree (do one big tree for the whole group, with everyone contributing a few of his or her own traced handprints to tape or glue on) and other fun stuff like this.  You can purchase natural and colored wooden beads and have the kids string necklaces like the Native Americans wore.  Get that stationery/printer paper that's printed to look like it has a scroll on it, and have the kids write out what they're thankful for (you help the littler ones, of course.)  

Answer 5

I was at AC moore last year around that time, and they have TONS of little packages for like $1, that come with all the supplies. There were pom pom dolls, and the one I picked up was a frankenstein headband pack.

Hope that helps. =)
