Objects that start with letter a picture

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 “A” 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 “A” objects.
