This isn’t one of the busy bags I bought, but this is something I use for ds5. It’s good practice for forming letters, and he has enjoyed doing it multiple times (though not every day, or even every week) over the last year.

This has some novelty value for ds7, and is a little fun for ds2, but it’s really targeted toward the kids who are working on their letters. They can “write” without having to have the fine motor skills down, and it’s a fun thing to follow along with.
