Japanese Box Lunch キャラ弁
Since my daughters had events in their nursery and school on the same day in the last month, I made their box lunches.
I like making kyara-ben, Japanese box lunch having some characters or something fun in it, so I consulted my favorite cookbook.
I selected キイロイトリ from リラックマ.
The first picture is my youngest daughter's one.
She said she liked it when she came home and she had finished it.
The second picture shows my eldest daughter's one.
She said she liked it, too but she ate it hiding from her friends because it looked childish.
Now she is in a middle school, so I give up making kyara-ben for her.
(It's a sorrow!)
The last one was for my husband.
It had no character but I used the rest of nori, Japanese seaweed, for his rice balls.
He had no reaction.
Maybe he wanted some cute character.

The original sentence was technically correct, but it's more common and casual to say "It's so sad!"

Since my daughters had events in their nursery and school on the same day last month, I made their box lunches.
Last month is a relative term, you only add "in" if the time is specific. Ex: the same day in January.
I like making kyara-ben, a Japanese box lunch which has some characters and other entertaining things inside, so I referred to my favorite cookbook.
When you want to describe/explain more about an object, use this form:
I have an [OBJECT],[DESCRIPTION],that I want to give to my friend.
This will keep the sentence clear because readers can cover up the description without changing the meaning of the sentence.
We usually "consult" a professional, not a book. Ex: Consult a teacher; consult a doctor. Instead, we refer to a book for guidance.

I don't know what the Katakana means, so I can't correct this
The first picture is my youngest daughter's bento.
Your sentence will mean "The first picture is my daughter's picture", so you have to be specific.
She said she liked it and finished it before she came home.
Original sentence means: She only liked the bento when she came home.
Since you actually mean: She liked it. She finished it before she came home.
You join the two separate sentences with "and".
The second picture shows my eldest daughter's one.
In this case it is correct to use "one", because the second picture shows [something].
She said she liked it, but she ate it while hiding from her friends because it looked childish.
She is in a middle school now, so I stopped making kyara-ben for her.
"give up" is extreme, so "stopped" is better.
(It's a sorrow!)
Do you mean "What a pity"?
The last picture is the bento for my husband.
The picture is still showing the bento for your husband, so you say the picture IS.
It had no character but I used the rest of nori, Japanese seaweed, for his rice balls.

I was surprised a little that you know this word, "bento".
Is "bento" known in your country? Or you know it because you learn Japanese?
Usually we just get sandwiches...TT_TT
I heard some Americans cook "Kawaii bento". → http://www.squidoo.com/cute-food
