After dinner and my somewhat not successful explanation of onomatopoeia, I turned to YouTube to search for a video that may help my children better comprehend what onomatopoeia is. Thats where I found this cute and short video about onomatopoeia. Ill alert you, the song is sort 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 an associated note, Next Vista for Learning hosts a terrific video description of onomatopoeia. The video was produced by a high school student for one of Next Vistas numerous student video creation contests.
