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.

Golf Tees

Golf tees make great tinkering supplies. Kids can hammer these “nails” into all manner of material including styrofoam, dirt, and playdough. Use tees and marbles to perfect fine motor skills, or even to make shapes with yarn. We love the idea of using pool noodles and golf tees to create creatures.

Available at amazon.com$7.95 for 100.
