Any #python folks know of a library for drawing pretty-looking, clean boxes arranged in various patterns?

I am looking to make some simple images like this to demonstrate addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc.

Bonus points if it has support for some existing pedagogical framework (e.g. "ten frames").

Thoughts on this complicated topic?

At least 29 states have policies restricting or eliminating exclusionary discipline, and a 2016 national survey found that 17,000 3- and 4-year-olds had been expelled in the previous year, Jenny Gold reports.

Between 2019 and 2021, California lost more than 1,100 licensed childcare facilities and nearly 19,000 licensed spaces—more spaces than the number of children in Mendocino or 21 other California counties.

In 2021, child care spaces were unavailable for nearly a quarter of California children ages 0 to 12 with working parents.

@Truchet_Nested I bought hexagonal tiles made with cardboard, in Australia I think, that had different arc “roads” connecting the midpoints of the sides. The preschool children loved them, but I could not get more. I thought there were 4 different tiles in the sets I bought at a math/science store in Seattle around 1990. Are there tiles for Truchet? #earlyeducation #edutoot #math

What was your earliest science memories?

For me it was with my uncle. We put food coloring in milk and then some soap. It felt like magic to me. We did that several times and he taught me why it does that. My uncle is the reason I am who I am today and he made me fall in love with science.
