Toddler A-Z – 100 Objects That Start with the Letter “C”

A group of my friends started doing something we are calling Toddler Time and each week we choose a letter to focus on.  I realized that finding objects that start with the letter of the week can be a challenge and I thought it might be helpful to have a long list of “C” letter objects them on hand.  If I’ve missed something drop me a note in the comments, I would be thrilled to add even more letter “C” objects.
