Inspired by Bill Albright’s Bear Series III – Teapot, this activity lets you turn an ordinary teapot into an extraordinary animal! Start with a paper teapot cutout, then choose from a variety of fun shapes—ears, tails, legs, wings, and more. Use your imagination to mix and match the pieces and create your own teapot creature. Will it be a Teapot Turtle? A Parrot-Pot? A Bear with a handle? There’s no wrong way to create—just have fun and make it yours!
