I've built a toy box for my niece based on this photo she emailed to me:
20140222102026.jpg
Here are some photos of the box I made based on the example above:

The box is framed in Jarrah and the front and rear panels are plywood veneered with Tassie Myrtle. Side panels are veneered with Australian Red Cedar. Inside the box the panels are balanced with what I had at hand - Australian Red Cedar, Camphorlaurel and Unknown (from eBay). The lid is Jarrah framed with Jarrah panels. The box is approximately 36" wide X 22" deep X 20" high. and is finished with polyurethane wiping varnish and furniture wax.
I wasn't keen on hinging the box, as I could see too many squashed fingers, so opted for a fitted lid that will need Mum or Dad to remove to access the toys. (Hinges could be retro fitted at a future date.)
After finishing the box, I searched for the sample photo my niece sent to me. I found it here:

The design is based on a blanket box published in Fine Woodworking issue #203. Using Aussie timbers I've come close to matching the American cherry and walnut used in the sample photo.
