3 Use the Align tool to center the teapot to the dummy.
This step isn't necessary, but it can help to obtain more consistent results.
4
Link the teapot as a child of the dummy (drag from the teapot to
the dummy).
You can use any object as the parent, but using a dummy, which doesn't
render, lets you animate all instanced particles visible in the final
animation.
5 Create a default Particle Flow system.
6 In Particle View, delete the Rotation operator.
7 Replace the Shape operator with a Shape Instance operator.
8 In the Shape operator parameters, designate the dummy as the Particle
Geometry Object.
9 Turn on Animated Shape.
10 For sequential animation, which can be more interesting visually, in
Animation Offset Keying, set Sync By to Particle Age or Event Duration.
