Okay, my reconstructed list so far....

[conuly]

A - toy ant, or apple, or alligator. (I want to minimize this sort of thing if I can.)
B - small blocks, or balls, or (jingle) bells, or buttons
C - cardboard pieces, or small (toy) cups, or cotton balls, or coins, or crayons, or candles
Ch (why not separate it, after all) -
D - small dolls
E - a blown-out or plastic egg
F - feathers, or felt
G - (cheap sun)glasses
H - crochet hooks
I -
J - jacks, or small jars
K - keys
L - lambs wool, or lace, or magnetic letters (ls, of course), or leaves
M - marbles, or metrocards
N - nailclippers
O - uncooked oatmeal
P - paper clips, or puzzle pieces, or pipe cleaners, or uncooked pasta
Q - quilt scraps (by which I mean a small bit of cloth with something appliqued on it. It's a stretch)
R - rocks, or ribbons, or uncooked rice
S - sandpaper? or straws, or scrunchies
Sh - shoelaces, or shells
T - tea bags, or
Th - thimbles
U - little paper umbrellas
V - velvet? or something that velcroes up... just some cloth with velcro on it
W - whistles
X - little toy xes from made tic-tac-toe boards
Y - yarn
Z - zippers

I have more, just... not here. It's at Jenn's.

Other possibilities:
buttons, hair, nuts, string, tulle (but I don't know a cheap easy way to get it or if I'm spelling it properly... that stuff they sometimes put under dresses to puff them up a bit, I think), toilet paper or tissues

[conuly]

Hair mightn't be bad, if it's braided up.

Tissues - that's good, and buttons. As for tulle, that's easy - buy a child's or doll's tutu.

Oh and if you don't use coins then q can be quarters. Or quills if you don't use feathers, but unless you have a quill pen, that's kind of weird. A quiver of arrows would be tricky too.

[conuly]

But A could be for Arrow, that's not bad.

Q and quarters works nicely, I hadn't thought of that.

an orange?

[conuly]

I think I'm going to have to. It'll have to be a *fake* orange, though - I don't want to have to keep refilling these bags.

[ser-kai.livejournal.com]

You could put a couple of drops of orange oil or fold/bend a skin into it so the oils are released in the bag so it's not just a hard, plastic, bumpy ball.

[conuly]

...

I think I love you.

(And now I'm trying to think up scents for as many letters as possible. I'm pathetic.)

A - almond extract
B - baby powder, basil
C - coffee, cardamon, cinnamon
D - dill
E - eucalyptus
F - fennel
G - ginger
H - honeysuckle, hyacinth
I
J - jojoba, jasmine
K
L - lemon, lime, lavendar
M - mint
N - nutmeg
O - onions, oregano
P
Q
R - rosewater, rosemary
S - sage
T - tumeric? not bloody likely, tarragon
U
V - vanilla
W
X
Y
Z

I think it's really cool, actually. :-)
Pepper for P? I'll think more on this.

What about textures? rough for r, smooth for s, etc.

How about a hat for H? I'm not sure she'll really get crochet hooks. Or a horse figurine (like the plastic ones)
J ... jelly beans
L ... lipstick? lock
N ... nut, nickel
P ... penny
S ... plastic snake, slinky

Some things like the lambs wool, quilt scraps, etc, you'd be having to explain to her that it's a METROcard and not just a card/paper. And she'll probably say sunglasses and not glasses if they're tinted.

[conuly]

Nah, my mom crochets all the time. Ana knows they're "hooks". And we go on the bus every day, remember? The kid's a maniac for collecting old Metrocards. "YOOK! I GOT METROCARD!!!!! CAN I USE IT???? PEEEEEEEZ?????"

And she doesn't yet know the difference between sunglass and glasses. I mean, she does, but last time she had sunglasses we just called them "glasses". I think we were sick of her stealing ours. Kinda need them to see, y'know :) (Honestly, it's enough to make me wish she'd be nearsighted. She'd be delighted.)

So those are pretty safe from non-confusion.

Lock, now, that's a good one. Lipstick... if I could get pretend lipstick, that'd rock. Ana'd be able to pretend to put some on her, without us having to oblige her all the time with chapstick and lip gloss.

Thankies!

[conuly]

The thing is, whatever it is, it has to be something she can guess what it is without seeing it at all, when it's scrunched up in a small bag. Hats probably won't do it.

[ser-kai.livejournal.com]

A hard doll hat?

[conuly]

Maybe.

[brownkitty.livejournal.com]

Is Ana likely to freak if you take a doll apart? That'd give you Head, Arm, Leg, Torso or Body, maybe Hand and Foot depending on how far apart it goes.

Peppermint for a P scent?
