Every night my children (ages 4 and 5) ask us all kinds of fascinating concerns. Some of them are about things that I have not thought about in a long time. Some of them arent easy to answer in a way that they can comprehend.

After supper and my rather unsuccessful explanation of onomatopoeia, I turned to YouTube to look for a video that might assist my daughters much better understand what onomatopoeia is. Thats where I found this adorable and short video about onomatopoeia. Ill warn you, the song is type 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 among Next Vistas lots of student video creation contests.
