Petit Planetary
Petit Planetary is the children’s version of your favorite
celestial, science-y sweater! Your little will be the center
of their very own sweater-sized solar system as eight
(or nine!) planetary orbits encircle the yoke — eat your
heart out, Copernicus! Complete with planets along each
elliptical path, this astronomically nerdy sweater will let
your favorite tiny human shine like the star that they are!
