In Photoshop, you might use the color replacement tool to correct the color stains on the box. A simple auto levels and auto color would go a long way to restoring the colors. The rest is repair with clone and healing tools to repare scratches.

here is a quick restore using only the patch tool and selective color adjustments

This is my try. Had to put Kaylee's initial on the block. (I am a retired primary elementary school teacher)

Just a quick once over with the clone tool, then a little noise reduction using Neat Image, lastly duplicated image to new layer, applied Polaroid Dust & Scratches Filter, then masked girls face and dress.
