My kiddos LOVE LOVE LOVE circle time. The funny thing is that we do not do an extensive circle time, but they love it any way. Every day after quiet/nap time (about 3 pm ish) we sit down and do our calendar, and talk about the theme, shape, color, letter, and number of the week. We also read books and poems to go along with the theme, play educational games, do some type of large motor skill, and go on a hunt of something in the house that goes along with the letter, shape, or color of the week. Aferwards, we normally do an art, math, or science project. I like doing this stuff in the afternoons because it leaves are mornings free for playdates, park trips, and I work 3 mornings a week but am home by the end of quiet time.
Today our muffin tin went along with our circle time. We had Square cracker with White cheese on it, 7 peanuts, Square shaped mango, and beets, broccoli cheese soup, and bread for the letter Bb. 
Happy faces all around! It was yummy!

That's such a great tin to tie in with your circle time!
