Boys Space Kippah – Zero Gravity Cotton Yarmulke

Zero Gravity is a printed cotton space kippah for boys, made in 8 sizes from age 2 through adult, and priced at $9.99. Shuttles, saucers, rockets and ringed planets drift across a deep navy ground in white outline, lit with acid-lime highlights, and behind them faint constellation lines join star to star. It rewards a second look, which is exactly what a five-year-old gives the thing on his head. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

Specifications

How this compares

Best for

• Upsherin, where a three-year-old needs something he actually wants to wear
• Cheder and school — the navy ground keeps it appropriate where a bright print is not
• Brothers sets: buy two sizes and let the older one explain the constellations
• A boy who will outgrow a novelty print but not a space one

Not the right choice if

• An adult davening kippah — adults generally want a solid
• A chuppah or a formal simcha where plain black or white is expected
• You want something plain; this print is busy by design
• You need a wipe-clean surface; this is a wash-and-dry cotton

Why customers choose it

Printed cotton is the forgiving material: it takes a wash, dries fast, and a spilled grape juice is not the end of the kippah. The dark navy hides the fingerprints that a cream or light-blue yarmulka shows within a day. The store already carries the Space Kippah / Yarmulke and the Space Print Cotton Yarmulke / Kippah for Boys; those lean toward planets on a lighter field, while Zero Gravity is the darker, denser, shuttle-and-rocket one.

Size guide

Numbered sizes are shaped and domed; the cm sizes are flats, measured across the diameter. Sizing is guidance rather than a rule — head shape matters as much as age. If you are between sizes, take the larger one.

Frequently asked questions

What size kippah for a 3 year old at an upsherin?
Size 1 or 2 fits most three-year-olds. Size 2 is the safer buy if you want a few months of growing room.

Will this kippah stay on a young boy's head?
The shaped sizes grip better than a flat, and a pair of kippah clips solves the rest — ask and we will add a set.

How do I clean a cotton kippah?
Hand wash cold with mild soap and air dry flat. Skip the dryer, which can shrink the shaping.

Can this be embroidered with my son's name?
Yes, with no minimum order. Message us on WhatsApp with the spelling and placement.

Is a printed kippah appropriate for shul?
On a boy, yes — a navy-ground print is standard weekday and Shabbos wear in most shuls. Adults usually want a solid for davening.

Does the print fade?
Not with cold hand washing. Hot water and a dryer are what fade a printed cotton kippah, not ordinary wear.
