Okay kiddo, a tea cosy is like a little hat that you can put on top of your teapot to keep your tea warm. Just like when you wear a hat to keep your head warm, a tea cosy does the same thing for your tea. It's usually made out of cloth or woolly material and fits snugly over your teapot, so no heat escapes. This helps to keep your tea nice and warm for a longer time, so you can enjoy a hot cup of tea when you want it. And that's all there is to it!
