More about Sophie Giraffe
Sophie the Giraffe is still made by hand in the same manner in which she was produced when first designed over 46 years ago. Sophie is traditionally produced using a process that involves more than 14 manual steps. She is made from 100% natural rubber from the sap of the Hevea tree, and finished with food grade colors.

More than 20 million Sophie Giraffe toys have been sold since 1961, to parents and baby shower gift givers alike. Why is Sophie such a popular choice as baby's first toy?

Sophie gently stimulates all of baby's senses.

 Sight

  At the age of 3 months, a baby's eyesight is limited and she can only make out high contrasts. The dark spots all over Sophie the Giraffe's body provide visual stimulation, so she becomes a familiar and reassuring object for baby.

Hearing
Sophie the Giraffe squeaks to keep baby amused and stimulate her hearing. Later baby will learn to understand the link between cause and effect: he squeezes the giraffe, resulting in a squeaking sound.

 Taste

  Sophie is made of 100% natural rubber and food grade colors. She is completely safe to chew, just like a bottle nipple. Her soft texture and numerous chewable parts (ears, horns, legs) make her perfect for soothing baby's sore gums during teething.

Touch
Sophie the Giraffe's soft feel, like baby's mother's skin, stimulates physiological and emotional response that soothes baby and promotes healthy growth and well being.

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

Sophie is easy to grip-
The shape and size (7 inches) of Sophie the Giraffe make her perfect for baby's small hands. She is very lightweight, and her long legs and neck are easy for baby to grip, even from his earliest days.
