An easy teapot craft for kids with a free printable teapot template. Tell someone they are tea-riffic and let them enjoy a nice relaxing cup of tea with this easy paper craft. Simply decorate the teapot template and add a teabag. This teapot craft would make a perfect Mother's Day teapot card or it could be used as a thank you teachers appreciation card for a special teacher or childminder. Babies and toddlers could personalise their teapot with paint or by adding fingerprints, whilst preschoolers may enjoy glueing on sequins or adding stickers.

We love Homemade Gifts for Kids to Make and this teapot card is perfect to be given to someone special, someone who is tea-riffic! 

Whatever your child's age or ability they can decorate their printable teapot in their own special and unique way. Being given a gift of a relaxing cup of tea is going to be appreciated by any adult!

This easy teapot craft would make a really cute keepsake if it is covered with a child's fingerprints. You might also want to take a look at our list of Homemade Gifts for Mom from Kids to make a small gift to go with your teapot card.

Whilst this craft was originally made as a Mothers Day teapot craft it is great for anybody you think is terrific and it would also work well as an activity to make alongside the nursery rhyme 'I'm a little teapot'. 

It would be fun to sing the nursery rhyme with toddlers or preschoolers before the children make their own teapot. Take a look at all our Nursery Rhyme Activities.

Printable Teapot Craft Directions

STEP 1: Prepare teapot template

You will need to download and print out the teapot template that is available for free if you scroll down. You could either print the teapot template straight onto coloured card like we did or you may prefer to print it onto white card if you want to add a detailed design across the teapot. 

STEP 2: Decorate teapot craft

Decorate your teapot template in any way you choose. Children can be as creative as they like during this step.  I love the fingerprint teapot as I love keepsakes, but I think the children got more out of painting and gluing their own designs.

You could decorate your teapot by gluing on sequins and gems......

or you could paint your teapot.......

or you could dip your finger in paint and cover your teapot in fingerprints. 

STEP 3: Cut and add pocket to printable teapot

Once you have decorated your teapot and left it to dry, cut it out and stick a pocket to the front. We have two pockets to choose from.  One says 'You're Tea-riffic' which is perfect if you are making a Mother's Day teapot craft and the other says I'm a little teapot, Tip me up and pour me out' which is fun to use if you are making this teapot craft after singing the nursery rhyme.  

You could also write your own message to make the card even more personal. 

Place a teabag in the pocket and your teapot craft is ready to be given to someone special.
