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

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

After dinner and my somewhat unsuccessful description of onomatopoeia, I turned to YouTube to attempt to find a video that may help my children better understand what onomatopoeia is. Thats where I found this short and cute music video about onomatopoeia. Ill alert you, the song is type of catchy (if youre a five-year-old)..
