Acorns, chestnuts, leaves etc. They are all free and put in a bowl look great. You can let the kids find them .
Or maybe buy a couple of those fake pumpkins in one of the craftstores, Michaels I think??
Or go to the Dollar store, lovely things I saw last year (bought some too, lol)

The girls and I made "tissue" ghosts one year. You ball up one tissue (or napkin, whatever, Take another and drape it over it to hang down, tie a string around the "neck". Then run a string up through the "head" to hang it. It flutters in the breeze. (Or completely blows away in a strong wind! Whatever, it was fun)

I always make a homemade scarecrow that sits on the front porch. He could sit anywhere actually. I stuff jeans or sweatpants with newspaper, a shirt...preferably plaid or denim, and sit boots below the legs and use gloves for the hands. Head can be made with any halloween face type mask,they can be bought in a dollar store. Or you could use pumpkin for the head. I have also stuffed a pillowcase or fabric, tan or white or pink...for the head. I've used a good pillowcase and washed it and kept it after I was done! Put a hat on it...straw or even stocking hat...any hat will do. I have also used a witch hat sometimes, also bought a the dollar store. I do this without spending any money! My kids helped me since they were babies and could barely walk, they loved the stuffing part and wadding up the newspaper. Have fun!
