I really enjoyed these, as a kid. Now we have apps that will create a painting from a photo. Times have certainly changed.

When my Daughter was around 4, I bought her a “paint with water”, coloring book. She loved it but actually has no drawing or painting talent at all.

Interestingly, both her Son and Daughter are extremely talented. My Grandson can draw pictures which one can easily mistake for a photograph.

Today you can paint by numbers using a computer monitor and a mouse . . . I don’t really think it is the same thing.

According to Pythagoras, “All things are numbers.”

They should bury him in a paint by number’s coffin.

I liked this stuff as a kid in the ‘70s. Still like to buy this kind of thing for kids today.

I grew up making balsa airplane models that I had to cut out of pre-printed balsa sheets (before die cutting), graduated to Erector sets, and then Heathkit. I became an engineer.
