Puns are a good way to introduce complicated concepts in a non-intimidating manner. This Bridges am sharing some visual math puns created using stuffed (polyester-filled) animals. The resulting sculptural poly-fill-hedra are simultaneously attractive art pieces and entertaining math puns. Photos of additional poly-fill-hedra may be seen in my short paper.

The Dodocahedron is a mathematical art pun. It is made from 12 stuffed dodos arranged into a roughly rhombic dodecahedral shape.
