On this page you will find details on how to create a parent account, as well as details of how to set up a family account.

All users require a Sumdog account with their own unique username and password in order to login and access their accounts.

A Sumdog parent account is recommended for users who are:

Each parent account acts as a manager account for the family. Basically - you're the boss. Don't worry though, it's simple to set up and manage your family account.

The name of the family account will be based on the last name of the parent account responsible for establishing the family account. You can edit your family name later if you're bored of being Family Smith and want to be Family Awesome instead. Find out more details on editing family names here.

A family account allows you to add children, and invite other family members and parent accounts to link with the family.

You can have up to 10 student accounts and four parent accounts linked as part of the same family.
How to get started with your family account:

Step1: Register for your Sumdog parent account here.

Enter your email address, and then add a secure password for your account login.

Your last name will initially be used as the name of your family account.

We recommend registering an email address that gives you ease of access in case you need to retrieve account information later.

Before you finish creating your account you will need to agree to Sumdog's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Make sure you read through and understand these policies, then tick the box to confirm. Please feel free to contact us if there's anything you're concerned about.

To create your account simply click 'Sign up ' on the bottom right of the page.

Step 2: A confirmation email will be sent to the registered email address.

This email is to confirm you are the account owner, and that you have access to the email address registered with the account.

This email will include a verification link which must be verified within 14 days of submission. If the account is not verified within 14 days the registration will be void and the account will be deleted.

Step 3: Confirm and validate your account by simply clicking on the link in the email. Alternatively you can copy and paste the web address into your browser and navigate directly to the page.

Step 4: Once you have confirmed and validated your account, you will now be able to log into your parent account using the email and password you submitted.

Your email address is the username for your account.

The next step is to add your children to your family. You can find out more about how to do that here.

You are now also able to invite other family members to create a parent account, which can then be linked to your family. You can find out more about how to create a parent account and link it to an existing family account here.

For more than 200 years, the White House has been more than just the home of the Presidents and their families. Throughout the world, it is recognized as the symbol of the President, of the President's administration, and of the United States. The White House is the only private residence of a head of state that is open to the public, free of charge.

Our first president, George Washington, selected the site for the White House in 1791. The cornerstone was laid in 1792 and a competition design submitted by Irish-born architect James Hoban was chosen. After eight years of construction, President John Adams and his wife, Abigail, moved into the unfinished house in 1800. During the War of 1812, the British set fire to the President's House in 1814. James Hoban was appointed to rebuild the house, and President James Monroe moved into the building in 1817. During Monroe's administration, the South Portico was constructed in 1824, and Andrew Jackson oversaw the addition of the North Portico in 1829. During the late 19th century, various proposals were made to significantly expand the President's House or to build an entirely new house for the president, but these plans were never realized.

In 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt began a major renovation of the White House, including the relocation of the president's offices from the Second Floor of the Residence to the newly constructed temporary Executive Office Building (now known as the West Wing). The Roosevelt renovation was planned and carried out by the famous New York architectural firm McKim, Mead and White. Roosevelt's successor, President William Howard Taft, had the Oval Office constructed within an enlarged office wing.

Less than fifty years after the Roosevelt renovation, the White House was showing signs of serious structural weakness. President Harry S. Truman began a renovation of the building in which everything but the outer walls were dismantled. The reconstruction was overseen by architect Lorenzo Winslow, and the Truman family moved back into the White House in 1952.

Every president since John Adams has occupied the White House, and the history of this building extends far beyond the construction of its walls. From the Ground Floor Corridor rooms, transformed from their early use as service areas, to the State Floor rooms, where countless leaders and dignitaries have been entertained, the White House is both the home of the President of the United States his family and a museum of American history. The White House is a place where history continues to unfold.

As China's most famous attraction, the Great Wall of China is an essential stop on all China tours. Commonly considered a wonder of the world, the Great Wall boasts a history of over 2,000 years and stretches more than 3,000 miles across several provinces of northern China, making it one of the most impressive ancient structures on the planet.

Virtual Tour of the Great Wall of China

Best Sections to Visit

Beijing is usually considered the main gateway to the Great Wall, since there are several world-famous sections of the Wall in the suburbs of Beijing, including Badaling, Mutianyu, Jinshanling, Juyongguan, Gubeikou, and Jiankou. These sections were built during the Ming dynasty between the 14th and 17th centuries and have been well preserved.

Of all the sections of the Great Wall near Beijing, Badaling is the most famous one. As a result, Badaling is the destination of choice for many large tour groups and is often very crowded. The nearby Juyongguan Great Wall features one of the three great mountain passes of the Great Wall but is almost as crowded as Badaling.

Mutianyu Great Wall is just as close as Badaling and offers wonderful views of the Great Wall and the surrounding hills with far fewer tourists. This section of the Wall also features a thrilling toboggan run that you can ride from the top of the Wall down to the bottom of the hill.

Due to their proximity, Badaling, Juyongguan, and Mutianyu are all doable as a half-day trip from downtown Beijing. We usually recommend Mutianyu over Badaling or Juyongguan, since the massive crowds at the latter two sections can ruin one's experience of this impressive structure.

Further away from Beijing, Jinshanling Great Wall is about 150 km northeast of downtown and it usually takes about two and a half hours to drive there. Despite the longer drive, Jinshanling is among the most stunning sections of the Great Wall. If your itinerary allows for one full day seeing the Great Wall, then we highly recommend a tour to Jinshanling.

Gubeikou and Jiankou can also be visited within a day tour from Beijing. Both sections have not been restored since they were first built in the Ming Dynasty, making them ideal choices for those who want to hike and experience the wild Great Wall. Do be aware that the Jiankou section features very steep and dangerous climbs and is only suitable for experienced hikers.

There are also some other famous sections of the Great Wall within or outside Beijing, such as Huanghuacheng, Simatai, and Shanhaiguan, but we only recommend these if you are visiting the Great Wall for a second time or planning a multi-day, in-depth Great Wall tour.

Great Wall Hiking and Camping

Due to its original purpose as a military defense, almost all sections of Great Wall were built on mountain ranges and thus involve some challenging climbs and uneven stairs, including the well-restored sections. If you are visiting a restored section but hike to the end of the renovated part, you will be able to see the unrestored part of the Great Wall.

For most visitors, Mutianyu and Jinshanling offer good, medium difficulty hikes, while still being very safe. For those looking for a serious hike along wild, unrestored portions of the Wall, we suggest the Jinshanling to Jinshanling East, or Gubeikou to Jinshanling routes. All these routes boast both unrestored and picturesque renovated sections of the Wall. However, please be aware that hikes along wild, unrestored parts of the Great Wall involve many steep climbs and loose bricks, and can be very dangerous in some places. (People can no longer hike through from Jinshanling to Simatai since the route was closed years ago.)

Camping on the Great Wall is usually banned, especially on the renovated sections. If you want to spend a night sleeping on the Great Wall, we can take you to a watchtower on the Gubeikou section of the Great Wall to experience the life of an ancient soldier and catch amazing sunrise/sunset views over the Wall.

Best Time to Visit

For all sections of the Great Wall near Beijing, the spring months (April to June) offer temperate weather and are great for climbing. In late April to early May, many trees begin to blossom, making this a particularly beautiful period to visit the Wall. Fall is also a nice time to visit, as temperatures are usually comfortable. October to early November are particularly picturesque, as the tree leaves on the mountains begin to change color. The winter months, from December to February, are cold and can be windy, but there are usually far fewer tourists on the Wall during these months. July and August are hot and humid, and thus not the best for long hikes. In addition, it's best to avoid hiking on the Wall after rain or snowfall because some parts can get very slippery.

You should also avoid visiting the popular sections, such as Badaling, Juyongguan, and Mutianyu, around National Day (the first week in October) and Spring Festival. August is also a busy time for the Badaling and Juyongguan sections, since students are on summer vacation and many families travel to these famous sections with their kids before the new school year starts. Learn more about how to avoid the crowds when traveling in China.

We are living in interesting times...

Smack dab in the middle of a pandemic is a place most of us never expected to be and yet, here we are.

Make no mistake. COVID-19 is a threat. But, the hysteria surrounding the pandemic is becoming as dangerous as the virus itself.

If we all try to stay calm and collected, we have a very good chance at a really great outcome. Everything will be okay if we use our good judgment to do what we can to keep ourselves and others safe.

Whether you are a teacher who has been asked to teach your students via distance education, or you are a parent who is suddenly finding yourself at home with their children, you are probably wondering what on earth you can and should do to make sure the kiddos in your care don't forget everything they've learned.

I've been homeschooling my 11-year-old daughter since she was 4, which is probably why I'm receiving messages from friends and acquaintances asking me what to do now that schools have been shut down for a period of weeks. And I've been telling them all the same thing.

Nothing.

No, really.

There's no need for panic, or stacks of fill-in-the-blank workbooks. You don't need to sign kids up for online programs requiring them to spend endless hours on a computer screen.

Here's what you can do instead.

Relax.

Let them play.

Yes... play. Even if your kids aren't toddlers anymore.

Read books, play board games, dig out some Lego blocks, make art, create crafts, doodle, sing songs, listen to the radio, dance, kick a ball, go for walks (as long as you follow social distancing rules), watch some YouTube videos (yes, even those weird slime challenges featuring girls with super long fingernails).

Chill out.

Give your kids some time to explore their interests.

Let them sleep in.

Encourage them to eat well.

Worried about math? Find some recipes and do some cooking or baking.

Concerned about science? Do a few experiments.

Nervous about history? Watch a documentary on Netflix.

Believe it or not, learning isn't rocket science. We all do it automatically if given half a chance.

Give them some time to explore their interests.
Also... making art is a non-medicinal way to stimulate dopamine - the chemical associated with the reward center in your brain. Increased levels of dopamine make us feel happy and relaxed, which is what all of us really need right now, more than ever.
Research shows that drawing, coloring, and other fine motor activities help to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and calm the fight or flight response, easing stress and unleashing creativity. Seriously. Painting pictures, dancing, knitting, sewing, baking cakes... all have positive benefits for mental health.

Below are links to 10 of my favorite art-making activities that can easily be done at home, with minimal supplies.

They are easy, they are cheap and they will fill your family with calm.

Help your kids find inspiration where they least expect it by "strewing" their spaces with art supplies.

This is a free-form drawing project that deals with the elements of design - colour, line, shape, form and texture.

Using paper, pencils, markers and some objects from around the home and classroom, children can create some fantastic patterns that will astound and amaze.

Blind contour drawing is an excellent way to train the eye to draw what it really sees rather than what it thinks it sees.

This lesson requires planning and problem solving, much like a math problem or science experiment. Students will see that scribbles can become much more.

Students will study the art and life of Kandinsky. They will also make an oil pastel picture of circles while listening to music.

Students will learn about lines as they create a colorful picture using a variety of lines.

Students will learn about line, shape and color as they create colorful works of art.

Students can follow step by step directions to create a spider web drawing.

Here are five creative arts and crafts activities kids can do on their own (depending on age, of course). Best of all, the materials are inexpensive and easily accessible.

Instead of worrying that our kids are about to forget everything they've ever known, just give them a chance to learn on their own. You will be amazed by the results.

Also, wash your hands!

Easter is nearly here, and so is the Easter bunny! Let's celebrate the festive season with some cute Bunny Crafts for Easter, using craft supplies you have!
Even if you don't celebrate Easter, you're sure to know that the Easter bunny is to Easter what Santa is to Christmas! The Easter bunny is an important part of Easter celebrations, along with Easter eggs and other icons of spring.

So what exactly does the Easter bunny do? Does he bring along eggs in a basket? Does he lay them?

Apparently, the Easter bunny is a part of German folklore, who left eggs for children who were good. Today, the Easter bunny's gifts are often baskets filled with colorful eggs, chocolate bunnies and other treats.

Let's celebrate this loving character with some adorable bunny crafts for Easter. These are all simple crafts that you can make with supplies you already have at home, like craft paper, cardboard tubes, paper plates and pipe cleaners. Nothing to stop you from crafting now!
**As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases made through this site. Thank you!
Handprint crafts are the easiest way to get little kids involved in crafting, and this one from Simple Everyday Mom is no exception. The handprints make great bunny ears, so it's a win-win!

All you need for this easy Easter bunny craft is colored paper! The pom poms also add a nice touch and you can make as many bunnies as you like, or go for a pair, like we've done here.

Whether the Easter bunny lays eggs or not, we can be sure he loves snacking on carrots! Kids Craft Room has a super cute Easter card idea that features bunnies munching away on large, orange carrots!

Holidays don't mean that you have to put away your reading! Continue poring over your favorite book through the holidays, and when you have to take a break, use these cute stick bookmarks to mark your place.

This craft from Easy Peasy and Fun has got to be among the easiest crafts you've ever made! With paper doilies, craft paper and googly eyes, you can make a cute and simple Easter bunny craft.

Isn't it fun when you can make crafts that also double up as toys? Fireflies and Mudpies has one such project, where the bunny made of paper can also bob his head! Use thick paper so the bunny doesn't topple too quickly.

This set features the Easter bunny along with a chick and sheep, and together they're perfect either as decor elements for your pen stand, bookmarks or puppets for a special Easter show!

Paper bags are perfect to use as puppets and Simple Everyday Mom shows us how to convert them into bunnies for Easter! You need very few supplies for this apart from colored paper and glue.

If you're a fan of quilling projects, you must try this quilling Easter craft that features a little quilled bunny inside a quilled Easter egg. If you've mastered the basic coils, this will give you some practice for the more advanced ones.

Cards are a great way to send across your wishes during any festival, and the same goes for Easter. I Heart Crafty Things has a simple and cute bunny card you can make yourself with basic craft supplies.

Introduce your child to the concept of creating art using mixed materials with this Easter bunny art project. Kids will learn how to use Q tips to create their own custom festive art.

Dress up a plain white paper plate to create a gorgeous, festive looking Easter bunny! Mommy Made That decorates the bunny with craft paper flowers, which gives us the impression the Easter bunny could be a 'she'!

Fancy being the Easter bunny yourself? Just put on this printable bunny paper crown and you're all set! The crown is super easy to make - just download, print, cut and assemble!

Running low on craft paper? Doesn't matter - I Heart Crafty Things shows us that even newspaper will do! This is a great exercise in turning trash into treasure; or in this case, a cute bunny rabbit!

Bunnies can't be separated from carrots, can they? This absolutely adorable bunny craft is from The Best Ideas for Kids, which shows little bunnies popping out of carrots! Or could they be carrot-shaped sleeping bags?

Got an old CD that's covered with scratches? Don't bin it yet - you can use it to make this recycled CD rabbit craft! With some felt and pom poms, this is an easy craft even little kids can make.

Kids Activities Blog gives us a rather minimalist craft that can be made with a cardboard tube and other craft supplies. If you have many tubes, make these bunnies in different colors for a fun set!

An Easter bunny in a top hat - now that's new! The Best Ideas for Kids shows us an elegant-looking Easter bunny made with Popsicle sticks, featuring pipe cleaner whiskers and a little pom pom nose!

Bunnies don't sit still, they're always bouncing all over the place. While you may not be able to make your bunny bounce like that, you can still make it rock - just follow the instructions in this craft!

Just how adorable is this sleeping bunny from Blue Bear Wood!!! You need just basic sewing skills to make this felt craft, and they've also provided the printable pattern that's available for download.

These bunny crafts for Easter can be made any time during the year - rabbits are always cute! The best part about these is that they're all quite simple, and can be made without much adult assistance.

Getting bored at home? Learn and have fun at the same time using things already in your home, with these 20 STEM Kitchen Science Projects for Kids!
It's lockdown period here and in many parts of the world as we go through the Coronavirus crisis. Schools were the first institutions to close down, and everything followed soon after. Which means that our kids have been home for quite a while now!

This has posed several challenges for parents. For one, there's the worry about the academic year getting messed up, and then there's the big problem of dealing with boredom. Kids can't go out and play or invite their friends over, and we'd rather have something to do that doesn't involve screens.

Thankfully, there is a solution - STEM! Yes, this is the perfect opportunity for science projects, which helps kids learn, takes care of boredom and has nothing to do with screens. Not to mention these are great for the whole family to do together!

The first thing to teach kids during the quarantine period is of course, washing their hands. As with everything else, explaining how things work always works better than simply instructing kids to do something. Coffee Cups and Crayons has the perfect little experiment to show how soap can keep germs away, using very few things from your kitchen.

Science can be beautiful too, as this project form Growing a Jeweled Rose proves! With cooking oil and food coloring in a few different colors, you're good to try this simple project!

This is an experiment that is sure to get lots of 'oohs' and 'aahs' from the kids! Life Over C's makes use of the wonderful reaction between baking soda and vinegar to create a volcano. Making it out of playdough adds an extra activity for the kids!

Celery makes a great snack, but it's also excellent to teach kids about osmosis! Little Bins for Little Hands makes use of liquids in different colors and celery stems to show how the color travels up.

Many kids don't know what a tornado look like, but with this project from Homeschool On, you have the opportunity to display a tornado in a controlled setting - inside a jar!

How gorgeous are these crystals from A Pumpkin and a Princess? With empty eggshells and some alum, you can create your own crystals. Add some food coloring to the mix and you can create an entire rainbow of them!

Babble Dabble Do has a science experiment that requires a bit of a setup, but is worth every step! Everyone has a funnel and salt at home, and the rest can be managed with odds and ends around the house. Food colors only make it better!

We all know that ice melts, but what happens when you add salt to the mix? Let the kids find out themselves, with this fun experiment from Artful Parent that ends up creating a pretty sun catcher!

So we know how to create a tornado in a jar - now it's time to create a snow storm! One Little Project has a project that has many science lessons woven into it, so make sure you explain all of them to the kids!

Watching a seed germinate is sure to make anyone fall in love with science! Little Bins for Little Hands gives us all the steps to recreate this evergreen classic experiment which is perfect for a lockdown so kids can observe the seed's progress every day.

Watching dough rise because of yeast is something that makes even adults go 'Wow', so imagine the effect on kids! Playdough to Plato has a simple experiment that beautifully illustrates the action of yeast, using balloons.

Whether they like drinking their daily glass of milk or not, this magic milk experiment from Little Bins for Little Hands is sure to be loved! Kids will enjoy watching the effect of colors in the milk - but don't forget to explain the science behind it!

How does the skewer go straight through without puncturing the balloon? As Life over C's shows us, it's not magic - it's science! Keep a few balloons handy for this one, the kids are going to want to try it again and again!

The egg drop experiment is another one of those evergreen hits that kids have been trying for generations. Ask the kids how they think the egg can land without breaking. Then check out Green Kid Crafts for the perfect solution!

A Dab of Glue will Do has a great experiment that's perfect for summer. You don't need anything more than water for this - in solid and liquid forms! After explaining about the forms of matter, go ahead with the experiment and ask kids why they think the ice sticks.

This sprout house from The Stem Laboratory is so cute!! Yes, you will have to use up your sponge stash for this activity, but how can you not, when you see how gorgeous the house turns out to be!

We've experimented with getting an egg to land without breaking, now how about turning the egg into rubber? Growing a Jeweled Rose has all the steps needed to make rainbow rubber eggs - sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike!

We all need rainbows in our life, and when the rainbow can also teach us about densities, even better! My Kids Lick the Bowl has a simple but effective experiment to learn about density using food colors in liquids.

Science is fun, but science you can eat is super! Super Teacher Blog gives kids an opportunity to create a project based on soil layers - and eat it later! You can use whatever edibles you have in your kitchen that'll match the project's theme.

Show your kids this picture and ask them what they think. Playdough to Plato gives us an easy project that only requires an orange and a tall vessel, like a vase. Be sure to use a clear one so kids can see what's happening inside.

As you can see, most of these experiments require very few materials, and you probably already have them lying around your home. Which is a good thing in the current scenario, since you can't run out every time you need something for your project. To make the most of the learning, we recommend having a little science journal on hand, which kids can use to keep track of their experiments and refer to later. Sunny Day Family has a good one, and you'll find many more if you search. With so much to do, get ready to make the most of this period with learning and fun!

It's time to go over the rainbow and discover that pot of gold, and we've got 20 Cute Rainbow Crafts for St. Patrick's Day that are perfect for the purpose!
Every festival has with it a great many legends and tales, and St. Patrick's day is no different! With shamrocks, rainbows, gold and leprechauns, I think this is one holiday that has quite a variety of different stories!

There are many explanations about how each myth or legend came to be and the one about rainbows is related to the season. Since this March signals the arrival of spring in the northern hemisphere, there tend to be spring showers. The sunlight works its magic through the raindrops and what we get are rainbows!

I'm not sure about the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but catching a sight of one is no less of a treasure! Let's celebrate all things rainbow this season with a roundup of the brightest and easiest rainbow crafts for St. Patrick's Day! Gather all your paints and all your craft papers - we're going to need every color you have!

Gather all your colored pom poms - it's time to make a rainbow! This is a great activity for preschoolers to color match, especially if you mark out the colors on the base beforehand. Make it more challenging by using tweezers to pick the pom poms.

Best part of using a paper plate for a rainbow? The shape is already there! Cut a paper plate into half and get painting. Messy Little Monsters adds some tufts of cotton wool to create little clouds.

Rainbows are instantly cheerful, and they're even better when they're smiling too! Make these cute little smiley rainbows as little greeting cards for this season. Make smaller versions to convert into magnets!

Our Kid Things has a fun project that uses coffee filters for rainbows with a beautiful blended effect. Kids will love seeing how one color just melts into another!

Buying new books for the new season? Then you deserve a new bookmark as well, and what could be more fitting than a rainbow one! Make multiple ones to share with your friends.

This craft from Kids Craft Room is a fun one to make around this holiday! All you need are cardboard tubes and colored paper, and you're good to go!

Not satisfied with making just a rainbow? Go ahead and make a shamrock as well! Cupcake liners are put to good use in this craft and kids will enjoy seeing how one shape can turn into many!

Pink Stripey Socks has the perfect decor piece for your room this spring - a rainbow mobile! Add a tiny little bell at the end of it and hang it in a place the breeze blows for some extra cheer!

This craft is perfect for quilling beginners since it uses just the basic quilling shape. At the same time, kids can experiment with tight coils and loose coils and see the different effects created.

You've probably seen plastic versions of these before, but CBC Parents shows us how cool the rock ones are! When choosing stones for these, go with ones that have a flat surface and are of different sizes.

We absolutely love paper collages, and this rainbow paper collage is one of our favorites! The little clovers in the background give this a distinct St. Paddy feel!

When you want a craft that combines rainbows and shamrocks, check out this project from Twitchetts! This is really simple to make, and you can scale it up or down as you wish.

Here is a great idea for a wall art project that's perfect for the season! With bright cheery colors this project succeeds without being overwhelming and works well for kids of all ages.

A flower that blooms in every color of the rainbow - that's our tissue paper rainbow flower for you! This is a great beginner's project for working with tissue paper.

Planning a rainbow theme party this season? Well, in that case you have to have a pinata, and Doodle and Stitch have got the perfect one for your bash!

Here's a project for preschoolers and even toddlers who're learning about colors! This craft cleverly incorporates all the colors, using green for the weeds and blue for the water.

Just like you can't have a unicorn that doesn't fart rainbows, you can't have a list of rainbow crafts without a unicorn! Mom Does Reviews has a cute little craft that unicorn fans will love.

Buttons are a great way to get in a lot of colors to your craft project, and this rainbow caterpillar is an easy one for little kids. Managing those small buttons is a good fine motor skill!

Pretty sure all that color is making you feel all pepped up and ready to craft! While you're at it, get in some books about rainbows, like What makes a Rainbow by Betty Ann Schwartz. Plan a rainbow arts and crafts party and use some of these ideas for decor, some for a group activity and some as party favors!
