Either use two different shoe boxes to create a two colored box or just use the lid to create the bands to weave with.
Parental supervision is recommended.
In the picture, I chose 2 different shoeboxes in similar designs but different colors to weave with. Using the craft knife, make evenly spaced vertical slits in the shoebox from just under the glued edge to about and inch from the bottom. You can choose whether you want to weave the ends or just the sides. Cut the long side double edge of the shoebox lid . This will be the handle.
