Born in France in 1961, Sophie quickly became a "must have" in baby’s essentials. Designed to stimulate the senses and soothe teething gums, mothers recognise right away the benefits of this little giraffe for their child.

Sophie the Giraffe has been a favourite teething toy in France for more than 40 years. Since her creation in 1961, Sophie the Giraffe has wowed over 20 million babies (and parents!) with her natural beauty and charm. These days in France 9 out of 10 newborn babies are given their own Sophie La Girafe.

Most importantly her flexible, renewable, natural rubber materials and non-toxic paint mean Sophie the Giraffe is a safe and all-natural teething toy for your little one. Parents world-wide trust the joy this classic toy brings to their babies.

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. In today’s fast paced world it is unusual to see a high production toy still "tradionally produced" and made by hand: Sophie requires more than 14 manual manufacturing steps.

Her retro style has ensured that she has remained fashionable for over 48 years.

Rating 4/5 "I bought this for my then three month old baby; he absolutely loves it! The face is simple and appealing to him, the squeaker gets his attention (but isn't as offensive as some other toys), it's safe and easy for him to hold on his own, and he loves to chew on her! This toy got rave reviews from a womens/mothers forum to which I belong, and I absolutely see why." - Kristina, Cambridgeshire (January 2010)
