Making the origami poppies was a good activity allowing some peaceful reflection and also requiring some focused thought. Looking back on the process, a lot goes into making an origami poppy (or any piece of origami). The folds need to be precise. The steps need to be correct. It can seem like a jumble of creases &amp; geometric shapes until a final step turns that paper square into something recognisable &amp; complete.<\/p>\n<p>If you have made one of these origami poppies, what did you notice along the way?
