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

After dinner and my somewhat not successful explanation of onomatopoeia, I turned to YouTube to try to discover a video that may assist my daughters better comprehend what onomatopoeia is. Thats where I found this charming and brief video about onomatopoeia. Ill alert you, the song is sort of catchy (if youre a five-year-old)..

On a related note, Next Vista for Learning hosts a terrific video description of onomatopoeia. The video was produced by a high school student for among Next Vistas numerous trainee video production contests.
