O OOO Driver ‘Kamen Rider OOO/OOO’
When handcrafting an OOO Driver, the key is to make it as close to the real thing as possible.
Carefully assemble a milk carton to create the base, and precisely measure and cut out the section where the medals go.
Combining a black foam tray with a clear lid results in a realistic medal case.
For the O Scanner made from a cheese box, pay attention to everything from molding to decoration to recreate the look of the actual belt.
Adding a sliding feature makes the transformation scenes feel even more authentic.
It’s a project that parents and children can enjoy together as they try to make a belt that looks just like the real one.
Two-Sided Driver: Kamen Rider Revice
Kamen Rider Revice had a fresh take with its story about making a contract with the devil within oneself and fighting together as a Kamen Rider.
It also made headlines that Subaru Kimura voiced the devil character.
Here’s how to make the Two-Side Driver used by the protagonist’s younger brother, Daiji Igarashi, and the demon inside him, Kagerou.
First, color-copy the Two-Side Driver and cut it to match a piece of cardboard.
Use a utility knife to carefully handle the finer details.
Then, paste the color-copied sheets onto the cut cardboard and assemble.
You can make it with everyday materials, so give it a try!
Den-O Belt ‘Kamen Rider Den-O’
The fun of handcrafting the Den-O Belt—the iconic symbol of Kamen Rider Den-O—begins with choosing the materials.
Skillfully combine candy and curry roux boxes, and recreate a realistic feel with cutouts and light effects.
For the silver finish, use the inside of snack packaging to produce a metallic shine that looks almost real.
Even the process of parents and children hunting for materials becomes a special time that breathes life into the belt.
The unique charm of a handmade piece will make playtime all the more extraordinary.

Revice Driver ‘Kamen Rider Revice’
In Kamen Rider Revice, I’ll show you how to make the Revice Driver used to transform into the duo Kamen Rider Revi and Kamen Rider Vice.
Draw the shape on cardboard and cut along the lines.
For sections that need to be folded, lightly score the cardboard to make even stiff cardboard easier to bend—this is a key tip.
Since there are many small parts, using a craft knife makes cutting easier.
Once you’ve glued the parts together onto the base, you’re done.
Try making it so it slides sideways and add your own original touches as you like.
Kamen Rider Zero-One costume
Kamen Rider Zero-One stands out with its striking yellow and black color scheme.
A fun way to get into that hero spirit is by making a costume out of felt.
By combining materials from a 100-yen shop, you can create something light, easy to move in, and comfortable for kids to wear.
Use black as the base and place yellow and red accents to instantly capture Zero-One’s recognizable presence.
Once it’s finished, strike full-body poses and have a photo shoot.
Unlike store-bought items, this one-of-a-kind costume you make together as a parent and child will bring plenty of memories and smiles.
Typhoon ‘Shin Kamen Rider’
Parent–child craft projects to make the Typhoon belt—the iconic symbol from the film “Shin Kamen Rider”—using everyday materials are hugely popular.
Combine circular parts with a belt section, add fins and decorations, then color it, and you’ll instantly feel like a hero.
The appeal also lies in customizing the size and colors to your own preferences, something store-bought items can’t offer.
Adding moving gimmicks doubles the impact, and striking a transformation pose after finishing really amps up the excitement.
Through the crafting process, kids develop imagination and dexterity, and the finished belt becomes something special both as a toy and as interior decor.
It’s a hands-on hero experience that parents and children can dive into together.
Desire Driver ‘Kamen Rider Geats’
The Desire Driver from Kamen Rider Geats, which amps up the excitement at the moment of transformation, captivates with its intricate gimmicks and bold design.
Recreating it out of cardboard as a parent-child craft project is thrilling from start to finish.
Rotating buckles and distinctive decorations can be cleverly built with materials and mechanisms to create a convincing, authentic feel.
By making each buckle—like Magnum and Boost—you instantly expand the ways to play.
During the build, parents and kids can discuss shapes and colors in detail, and once it’s finished, you can jump straight into hero role-play.
With a one-of-a-kind transformation belt, you can fully dive into the world of Geats.
