After dinner and my rather unsuccessful description of onomatopoeia, I turned to YouTube to try to find a video that may assist my daughters much better comprehend what onomatopoeia is. Thats where I found this brief and charming music video about onomatopoeia. Ill warn you, the song is kind of catchy (if youre a five-year-old)..

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

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