Sophie the Giraffe

0 months and up

This natural teether from France is one of the most popular baby toys.

Popular Sophie the Giraffe is possibly the queen of all teethers. Although she originated in France 60 years ago, her popularity is now booming.

Parents love that this reassuring animal friend is made of 100% natural rubber, so you can give it to your baby without worrying about whats in it. Soft Sophie squeaks when you squeeze her, and her neck and legs are slender enough for babies to grab and hold. Contrasting spots and a smiling face provide visual stimulation. Babies can mouth any part of this toy, though the ears, horns, and feet are made with thicker rubber for extra gnaw-ability. Hand-painted with food paint, each giraffe is unique. The down side of the safe paint is that it may fade over time.

Note: There have been reports of mold developing in Sophie, so be sure to wipe it clean regularly and dont submerge in water.
