After supper and my somewhat unsuccessful description of onomatopoeia, I turned to YouTube to look for a video that may assist my daughters better understand what onomatopoeia is. Thats where I discovered this charming and brief music video about onomatopoeia. Ill caution you, the song is kind of catchy (if youre a five-year-old)..

Every night my daughters (ages 4 and 5) ask us all kinds of fascinating questions. Some of them are about things that I have not believed about in a long time. Some of them arent simple to answer in a method that they can understand.

On an associated note, Next Vista for Learning hosts a great video description of onomatopoeia. The video was produced by a high school trainee for among Next Vistas lots of trainee video production contests.
