      • This retro '60s giraffe still stands out in a crowd. The classic teether taps into all of baby's senses. The giraffe's dark, contrasting spots catch baby's eye. Her playful squeaker perks up baby's ears. Her limber (chewable) legs, ears and horns soothe baby's sore gums. Her lanky legs and stretchy neck are easy for baby to grip from any angle. Made from all-natural rubber and food paint, Sophie the Giraffe is soft, bendy and baby safe.

        Why You'll Love It: Thanks to Hevea tree sap, this 100 percent natural rubber-made teether even smells special.

        From the Company
        The Little giraffe was born on the 25th of May in the year 1961…St Sophie’s day! In those days, the only animal toys available were farm animal or pet figures. That is why one day in France, a certain Monsieur Rampeau, who was an expert in transforming sap from the Hevea tree, using the rotational molding of rubber as a toy-making concept, came up with the idea of designing a giraffe.

        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 is still “traditionally” produced to this day, a process that involves more than 14 manual operations. She is made from 100 percent natural rubber derived from the sap of the Hevea tree.

        More than 30 million Sophies have been sold.



        Sustainable Materials: 100% natural rubber

      Comments about Sophie the Giraffe Teether in Natural Rubber:

      DS doesn't seem to love this toy - he would rather chew on a wash cloth. He has been starting to reach for it more often, so maybe when he is more familiar with it he will start to chew on it more. It really does look and sound like an overpriced dog toy.

            Not that Sophie needs another review, but this toy is the best teether! My son just loves it. She goes everywhere with us. She is the perfect grabbing size for a teething 6-month-old.

            Comments about Sophie the Giraffe Teether in Natural Rubber:

            I'll admit I was afarid to get this toy. I have the daughter that ends up liking the cheap toys. This has been raved everywhere and after a very bad teething night we bought it. Well she ended up liking it. I have very small daughter born premature and most teethers are not made for her small hands and mouth. Sophie is great because the small legs are easy to grasp and she loves to chew on the head or legs. She seems to like the feel of the rubber on her gums. I did not read well enough and did not see it sqeeks. It make it kinda cheap and yet like a the most spendy dog toy ever. She is indiffrent to the sound and I rather it was not there. I found the con when I went to my in-laws with it and my husband's aunt,who lives there too, has a dog. It squeeked and the darn dog wanted it. I'm cursing this part now. Don't expect your child to all of sudden not feel icky because of teething it not a miracle toy. However for me and my small daughter the toy was worth it.

                Our 5 mo old is starting to really put things in his mouth besides his hands and he loves this! Very easy for him to handle and because its rubber like it doesn't slip out of his hands as easy as other tethers. This squeaks too so it grabs his attention.

                  My son started teething at 2 months and it was impossible for us to find something he could easily grasp and keep his interest for longer then 5 seconds because he was so young.. But this thing is amazing!!! He is 6 months old now and loves it even more now that he can concentrate with it. The fact that it squeaks may drive people batty but if you have ever had a dog with a favorite squeaky toy.. It's no different. It washes easily, and doesn't smell plasticky.. All in all it's a great product. We also have the other Vulli teether the alien thing with the nob on it's head and he likes it equally..

                        I wanted to get Sophie when my older daughter was a baby, but couldn't bring myself to pay so much for a teether. But I finally broke down and got her for my second daughter, and am so glad I did. She LOVES Sophie! So does my older daughter and my dog, so keeping her in the right hands (and mouth) is the only downside to this great toy. Sophie is softer than I expected, and the squeaker is loud, so the four stars are for questions in her longevity. Very happy with my "splurge"!

                                Everyone raves about this product but my baby isn't a fan. I think it has a funny taste to it even though I washed it twice (against the instructions that said just to rinse it). She likes the squeak but puts it to her mouth and makes a sour face. I think this is one of those toys that really is "to each their own."

                                    My 5 month old loves to chew on Sophies toes! She can actually keep a good grip.

                                      We got our first Sophie last year on a whim, because that was to be our daughter's name.

                                      Fast forward to daughter #2 due soon, and I realize our little girl will need her own!

                                      It's been a constant favorite; safe, easy to clean and fun travel companion!
