How to Make a Teapot?

So the other night CR was skyping with Auntie Kate and throughout the conversation, and for some days afterward, she has been running around the house screaming at the top of her lungs that she is going to "make a teapot." Up until today, I had no idea what she was talking about. She sat me down and schooled me on the making of a teapot after lunch today while trying to get out of taking a nap. Here she is, making a teapot...


Here is the teapot. It looks like Annie get's it.



I still have no idea.
