Here's an Operation Christmas Child shoebox my aunt packed for a 2-4 year old boy this year. This shoebox was 360 inches cubed, for comparison, a GO box is 306 inches cubed, so it's pretty close in size. Here's one of the 2-4 boy OCC shoeboxes she packed in 2015.
If you'd like ideas for other ages be sure to check out my posts on boxes from this year for: Girl 2-4 years, Girl 5-9, Boy 5-9, Girl 10-14, & Boy 10-14.

Then more items went in, you can see the hard/square soap case and crayons box went next to each other to minimize wasted space. Then other softer items folded in the other open area.
