The 'dan' in 'dangling' hints at the word 'dangerous' and serves as foreshadowing.

Dangling means hanging or swinging loosely.

'Dangling' emphasises how small and helpless the child is - his legs don't reach the ground yet.

There is a repetition of both 'f' and 'l'.

The lightness of the 'f' and the lyrical 'l' create a gentle sound which is appropriate as the mother works with light flour and the boy flits around the kitchen in a lighthearted, carefree mood.

The boy is very young and would still be learning how to speak. The 'fl' mimics the sounds a toddler makes when they are at this stage of development.
