Hairbrush Hayride: Vanity Wagon
Published on August 26, 2026
The vanity hosted a hayride, and the wagon is a hairbrush. Your elf is on the bristles like they bought tickets and did not read the fine print. If you already have a posable holiday elf, skip to the recipe. If you don't, start with the setup kit.
Use a clean, dry brush and keep it on the counter, not in the sink, so nobody slips on a wet handle.
You Will Need This:
- • Your holiday elf
- • A hairbrush
- • The bathroom vanity
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Clear a wagon path
Push toothpaste aside so the brush can sit longways on the vanity. Kids need a road, not a clutter obstacle course.
Step 2: Park the brush
Lay it bristles up like a hay wagon. A paddle brush is a better seat than a round one that rolls.
Step 3: Load the passenger
Sit the elf facing forward, holding the handle like reins. They should look delighted and slightly poked.
Step 4: Add cotton-ball hay
Tuck two cotton balls behind them as hay bales. Instant farm energy in the most un-farm room in the house.
Pro Tips:
- • Use a brush that is not full of hair; that photo is less cute.
- • A hair tie on the handle as a “steering wheel” is a funny extra.
- • Do this after bedtime brushing so the counter is already wiped.
- • Keep real hair tools unplugged and cool.
