Product description
Product Description
Sophie la girafe was born on 25th May in year 1961...Saint Sophie's day. She was an immediate success. Sophie quickly became a “must have” in baby’s essentials. Designed to stimulate the senses and soothe teething gums, parents recognised right away the benefits of this little girafe for their child. By simple word of mouth, the little girafe's fame spread. Vulli, a company based in Rumilly in the Haute-Savoie region of France has continued to keep the jealously guarded secret of how this wonder toy is made. Sophie la girafe is still "traditionally" produced to this day, a process that involves more than 14 manual operations. Made from 100% natural rubber derived from the sap of the Hevea tree, Sophie’s flexible, renewable, natural materials and non-toxic paint mean she is a safe and natural teething toy for your little one. Since her creation in 1961 Sophie la girafe has wowed over 50 million babies (and parents!) worldwide with her natural beauty and charm, and her retro style has ensured that she has remained fashionable for over 50 years.

From the manufacturer

Once upon a time...
In those days, the only animal toys available were farm animals and pet figures ...
That is why one day in France, a certain Monsieur RAMPEAU, who was an expert in transforming the latex from the HEVEA tree using the rotational moulding of rubber as a toy-making concept, came up with the idea of designing a giraffe. Such an exotic wildlife figure would be a first on the market, and its size and shape would be ideal for a baby's small hand to grasp.
Sophie la girafe, who looked exactly the same than she does today, went into production on a Thursday, May 25th, hence her name.
She was an immediate success. Young parents immediately recognized that she was a must for their baby... When the first signs of teething appear, Sophie la girafe helps babies stop crying!
By simple word of mouth, the little giraffe's fame spread. From then on around the world, generations upon generations of children were to love hearing Sophie squeak whenever they pressed her tummy or head!
VULLI, a company based in Rumilly in the Haute-Savoie region of France has continued to keep the highly guarded secret of how this wonder toy is made.
To this day, Sophie la girafe is still traditionally produced, a process that involves more than 14 manual operations.
She is made from 100% natural rubber derived from the latex of the Hevea tree.
Stimulating the five senses
Sophie la girafe is BABY'S FIRST TOY, stimulating EACH OF THEIR SENSES from the age of 3 months

Sight
At the age of 3 months, a baby's eyesight is still limited and he can only make out high contrasts. The dark and contrasting attention-catching spots all over Sophie la girafe's body provide visual stimulation and she soon becomes a familiar and reassuring object for baby.

Smell
The singular scent of natural rubber from the Hevea tree makes Sophie la girafe very special and easy for your child to identify amid all his other toys.

Touch
Touch is the first means a baby has to communicate with the outside world. Sophie la girafe's soft feel, like baby's mother's skin, stimulates physiological and emotional responses that soothe baby and promote healthy growth and well-being.

Hearing
Sophie la girafe's squeaker keeps baby amused
and stimulates his hearing. To begin with, the funny sound
she makes when she is squeezed helps to stimulate his hearing,
and then later, helps him to understand the link between
cause and effect.

Taste
Made of 100% natural rubber and food-grade paints,
she is completely safe to chew. Sophie la girafe is akin to the nipple of a feeding-bottle. Her soft texture and numerous chewable parts (ears, horns, legs), makes her perfect
for soothing baby's sore gums during teething.

Update- 6months on and after being heavily chewed by a now 10month old Sophie is still going strong and is still very much a favourite
Came in a lovely little box so would make a perfect gift!
Until, enter 2 year old Labrador!! Sophie has a secret squeaker which if a dog hears, will wait until you leave the room to change the baby, then find, steal and rag around the garden in the mud.
Sophie is now deceased but Sophie 2.0 is on the way!
