Train or Caboose Birthday Treat Box Ideas?

I want to have a train birthday theme for our son. I would like to make a little caboose/train treat box or bag, but I'm not sure how to go about doing this.

Try to get the small square tissue boxes, the ones they call "boutique", empty of course. Cover each box with glued on red construction paper or give it a scuff with sandpaper, wipe off the grit and paint with a couple of coats of red craft paint. Let dry between coats and after the last one. Poke two holes about 2" apart centered at one short end (this will be the back) and add a loop of string, yarn or even short shoe laces, black is best. Don't forget to add black button wheels with a glue gun and to make a peaked roof with a folded square of cardboard painted black. Fasten with hinges of tape so it can be raised to get at the treats.

Make small squares and rectangles for a couple of windows and a double door. Add white details to these and the sides of the caboose. Don't forget some small yellow buttons on the sides of front for lights. Fill with goodies and pass them out. Or at one point you could get animal crackers in a rectangular,small box with a string handle on the top. Not sure if they still make them, but if u could find them they would be easy to make into a rail car or caboose. As a railroad brat I'm partial to caboose. U could paint them red and black and glue on button wheels too. Advantage to this last idea, the crackers could be the treats!
