A black cotton kippah with a hand-painted "splotch" splash — playful enough for a kid, clean enough for shul. The white paint-splatter print pops against the black ground without being loud, so it works for a boy who wants a little personality and a yarmulke that still looks put-together for davening.

Perfect for

This is an easy everyday yarmulke for boys who don't want a plain black kippah but still need something appropriate for shul and school. It makes a great upsherin gift for a three-year-old's first set of kippahs, a school yarmulke that won't look beat-up after a week, or a bar mitzvah party favor for a boy who likes a print. Buy it alongside the matching Splotch Light Blue kippah for a brothers set, so two siblings have coordinating yarmulkes without being identical.

Why parents love it

Cotton wipes clean and keeps its shape wash after wear, and the busy splotch print does a great job hiding the everyday scuffs and smudges that show up fast on a kid's kippah. The size range is wide enough to cover a 3-year-old upsherin boy at a Size 1 or 16cm flat all the way up to an adult man at a Size 5, so the same design works for a little brother and a bar mitzvah bachur. Add clips if your child is active and the yarmulka tends to slide off, and ask about embroidering a name inside — there's no minimum order. Cotton is also a cooler, more breathable choice than velvet or suede for a boy who wears his kippah all day.

Frequently asked questions

What size kippah fits a 3 year old upsherin boy?
A Size 1 or the 16cm flat fits most upsherin-age boys. Add clips so the kippah stays on during the haircut and afterward.

Can I get clips on this kippah?
Yes — clips are available so the yarmulka stays put on an active child who's running around.

How do I clean a cotton kippah?
Spot-clean with a damp cloth and let it air dry. The cotton holds up well to everyday wear, and the print helps disguise small marks between cleanings.

Is there a matching kippah for a sibling?
Yes — the Splotch Light Blue kippah uses the same paint-splash print in a different color, so two brothers can have coordinating but not identical yarmulkes.

What size kippah does an adult man wear in this style?
Most adult men take a Size 5, or a 20cm flat for a wider, lower fit — so this print isn't only for kids.
