Saw thee tool boxes in a Woodcraft Magazine.   Down sized them for a couple of  8 year olds in the neighborhood.   
Butternut, 3/8 inchc thick.   Boxes are 12 inches long by 6 inches wide.   Edge of the compartment is 3 1/2 inches with the overall height 6 inches.     Box joints on the corners cut on the router table using an Incra Jig.   Finish is 3 coats of poly.   Hinges I found on Amazon.   
Fun little project getting the slanted top angles right.
