Lunch box My son made his lunch box by himself for the first time two days ago. It was his homework of home economics in summer vacation. He needed to use local products in our city. My husband took him to a farmer's market to buy ingredients. It took one and a half hour to complete his lunch box . However it looked nice and tasted good.

Lunch box

My son made packed/prepared his lunch box by himself for the first time two days ago. (Saying he 'made his lunch box' implies that he built the box that he would keep his lunch in. The lunch box already exists. It's better to say he 'packed/prepared his lunch box'. This makes it clear that he prepared his lunch and put it in the lunch box for later.)
It was his homework of home economics in summer vacation home economics homework for summer vacation.
He needed to use local products in from our city. (The local products are 'from' your city. Alternatively you could finish the sentence after the word 'products' as suggested by Lizzie.)
My husband took him to a farmer's market to buy the ingredients. (Optional. Changing it to 'the ingredients' makes it a little more clear that these ingredients were specifically for the packed lunch and not just general ingredients but what you have written here is technically fine.)
It took one and a half hour to complete his lunch box . However it looked nice and tasted good an hour and a half to do/pack/prepare but looked nice and tasted good..

I met an old man who was upset that his wife was going into the hospital for some routine tests. He was upset because he couldn't cook. "How will I eat?" he said. A man needs to learn to be self-sufficient. Cooking enables a man to take care of himself, and to help others if it is needed.

A really super idea, this lunch box affair. :-) Gets the men into the kitchen early, too. The next challenge is to see that he does it every day. After all, it's easy to be a week-end chef, so to speak but it's quite another thing to get lads into the daily routine of doing domestic choirs etc. In any case, well done. I am sure you were as proud as punch. :-) Good luck the follow up. Paul Lyons
