After supper and my rather not successful description of onomatopoeia, I turned to YouTube to look for a video that might help my children much better comprehend what onomatopoeia is. Thats where I found this short and cute music video about onomatopoeia. Ill caution you, the song is type of catchy (if youre a five-year-old)..

Every night my children (ages 4 and 5) ask us all kinds of interesting concerns. Some of them are about things that I havent thought about in a long time. Some of them arent simple to respond to in a way that they can understand.

On a related note, Next Vista for Learning hosts a great video explanation of onomatopoeia. The video was produced by a high school trainee for among Next Vistas lots of trainee video development contests.
