A mass culture obsessed with suburbia, leisure, and consumerism that sought access to high culture: that was 1950s America. Naturally, it was obsessed with paint by number, where all of these cross.

In recent years, increasing stress has been placed on the importance of giving the under sevens a good start in mathematics.
