Try this:

set itemlist to {"dora:MissileToe:", "dora:Fruitcake:", "dora:Partridge
in a Pear Tree:"}
tell application "Finder"
repeat with eachitem in the itemlist
open folder (contents of eachitem)
end repeat
end tell

Your method was trying to make the list into a folder; that's obviously
not possible.
