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.

Medicine Droppers (Pipettes)

DIY science experiments just got that much easier with the addition of medicine droppers. Use for art projects, STEM discoveries or add a few to a sink filled with water---these little guys go a long way. FYI: This supply is an easy upcycle item so start collecting!

Available at amazon.com$4.99 for a pack of 20.
