Toothbrush Roll Call: Sink Inspector
Published on August 6, 2026
This is the bathroom sink, not the tub. The holiday elf is taking roll for the toothbrushes you already leave in the cup. Two minutes, dry counter, no bubbles. The mini bathroom set is optional, and only if you want a tiny cup on the dry sink. This is still the sink, not the tub.
Keep the elf out of standing water. Recap toothpaste. Small caps and floss picks are a choking hazard if a toddler can reach the sink.
You Will Need This:
- • Your holiday elf
- • The toothbrush cup that already lives by the sink
- • The family's toothbrushes
- • A dry patch of counter
- • Optional: a mini bathroom set if you want a tiny toothbrush cup already standing for roll call.
- • Optional: a sticky note that says "Open wide"
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Set the scene
Wipe a dry strip of counter. Line the toothbrushes in the cup like they are standing for roll call. Recap the toothpaste and set it as the podium.
Step 2: Pose the elf
Sit the posable elf on the dry counter, not on the faucet and not in the bowl. Face them toward the brushes. One hand can hold a spare brush if it is clean and dry.
Step 3: Add the tiny details
A short note on the mirror or the cup is enough. Keep floss picks and loose caps in the drawer. No water in the sink.
Step 4: When kids find it
This is a morning-sink find, right before anyone starts brushing. Move the elf before water hits the counter.
Pro Tips:
- • Turn the mirror so you do not catch a face if you take a keepsake photo.
- • If two kids share the cup, put each brush in a clear spot so the "roll call" reads.
- • Skip mouthwash bottles at the front edge. They tip.
- • This is not a bath scene. Leave the tub alone.
