Crayons. Paper. Glitter. Glue. You’ve got the basic supply list down pat. In fact, you probably have it on auto-order from Amazon. When it comes to the I-never-knew-I-needed-this list, however, we’re betting you might already have it somewhere else in the house—if not, we’ll show you where to grab everything on the list. From essential playdoh ingredients to hair conditioner (who knew?!) and even golf tees, flip through the slideshow below for everyday items we’ve caught moonlighting as must-have playtime supplies.

Hair Conditioner

You love how it gives the kidlets luscious locks but did you know hair conditioner is a fantastic paint brush cleaner too? Forgo buying brush soap and instead coat brushes in conditioner, go start dinner and come back to find easily cleaned, soft bristles.

Available at amazon.com$3.49 each.
