When you say you introduce materials first w/a discussion on how to use them properly, you mean you that before they are allowed the free exploration time? For instance, I have a bag of materials they can sort. They could sort these materials by color, what they represent (there are toy cars, toy dinosaurs, just a bunch of different small things), whehter or not they have wheels, etc. etc. etc. If you were to set out this kind of thing at free exploration, what kind of instructions would you give? Would it be just something like "these are for sorting and here's how you sort" and then when you moved away from free exploration you would ask them to sort by certain properties? Or would free exploration be even less structured than that?
