Every night my daughters (ages 4 and 5) ask us all kinds of fascinating concerns. Some of them have to do with things that I have not believed about in a very long time. Some of them arent simple to address in a way that they can understand. And some of them are a little bit of both. That was case one night recently when my five-year-old asked, “whats onomatopoeia suggest?” I did my best to discuss that it is a word like “moo” that is created from the noise that it makes..

After supper and my rather not successful explanation of onomatopoeia, I turned to YouTube to try to discover a video that might assist my children better comprehend what onomatopoeia is. Thats where I found this cute and short video about onomatopoeia. Ill alert you, the song is kind of catchy (if youre a five-year-old)..

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