Playroom Supplies You Didn’t Know You Needed

Googly eyes. Stickers. Shaving Cream? There's a whole world of play out there that doesn't include toys or art supplies. Check out our picks for super-cool (and just slightly random) items for playtime.

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.

Measuring Cups

From pouring water to scooping out just the right amount of flour for moon dough, measuring cups are something nearly everyone ( yup, even the non-foodie folks!) has handy. We love the set from Curious Chef the big handles and colorful grippers make easy handling for little hands.

Available at curiouschef.com, $4.99 each.
