My husband is a photographer and always donates free portrait sessions for school auctions. Check with local business, we love it, free advertising and usually repeat business.

How about a basket for a popular sports team in your area. Last year we did that, and the Ohio State University basket went for several hundred dollars. It had all kids of OSU stuff -- shirts, hats, a blanket, jewelry, etc.

How about a garden/tool shed?
Or a storage chest for deck/patio?
A set of Adirondack chairs?
A wood "play center" like parks have?
A portable butcher-block island for the kitchen?
A dog house, or an elaborate doll house?

You should do something simple that gets the children involved like a bake sale or hand made x-mas ornaments. Its for the children so they should have a hand in it. Take some suggestions from them.

I know our school puts up for auction theme baskets that the kids put together and some local businesses do some donations of gift certificates and such.
