Born in the French Alps in 1961, the Sophie la Giraffe natural rubber teether has become greatly popular worldwide. Made of 100% natural rubber (from the Hevea tree) and food based paint, Sophie has been cuddled and chewed on (not that she minds) for years. This incredible giraffe makes for the perfect teether or first baby toy, and stimulates each of baby's five senses. Recommended Age 0 Months+ Sight At the age of 3 months, a baby's eyesight is still limited and they can only make out high contrasts. The dark and contrasting attention-catching spots all over Sophie la Giraffe's body provide visual stimulation and she soon becomes a familiar and reassuring object for baby. Hearing Sophie la Giraffe's squeaker keeps baby amused and stimulates their hearing. To begin with, the funny sound she makes when she is squeezed helps to stimulate hearing, and then later, helps baby to understand the link between cause and effect. Smell The singular scent of natural rubber from the Hevea tree makes Sophie la Giraffe very special and easy for your child to identify amid all their other toys. Taste Made of 100% natural rubber and food-grade paints, she is completely safe to chew. Her soft texture and numerous chewable parts (ears, horns, legs), makes her perfect for soothing baby's sore gums during teething. Touch Touch is the first means a baby has to communicate with the outside world. Sophie la Giraffe's soft feel, like baby's mother's skin, stimulates physiological and emotional responses that soothe baby and promote healthy growth and well-being.
