Last year I worked with a third grade class and in October we did a fun Shape activity. First I taught the kids about positive and negative shapes (I will post a lesson on that in a bit.) then we made a haunted house using that concept. I gave each child three pieces of construction paper, one large black (house), one large purple (background), and 1/2 of an orange piece (accents, i.e. pumpkin, ghost, moon). I had a lot of fun seeing what each child produced and all of the pieces looked pretty scary. I think the kids were pretty impressed with their work as well!

The door, sidewalk, and grass are all negative shape/space. The moon, cat, house, ghost and pumpkin are all positive shapes/space.
