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

After supper and my somewhat not successful explanation of onomatopoeia, I turned to YouTube to look for a video that might assist my daughters much better comprehend what onomatopoeia is. Thats where I found this brief and cute video about onomatopoeia. Ill warn you, the song is kind of catchy (if youre a five-year-old)..

Every night my children (ages 4 and 5) ask us all kinds of interesting questions. Some of them are about things that I have not believed about in a long time. Some of them arent simple to address in a way that they can comprehend.
