I've added simple figure n-agon drawing and more fun example with turtle race with solutions.

Today I spent 30 minutes playing with my 6yo son - started with classic algae L-system (using pencil and crayons on a piece of paper), then some discussion of improvements (added long living and dying cells) + simulation with the simple string-rewriting. Then we went for some tree-like structures, again first on paper then in Python. It went surprisingly well, we were even able to have some discussion around "how simple rules allow creation of complex organisms - parallel with DNA".
