Sophie the Giraffe is one of the most talked about teething toys! Her success is legendary with millions and millions of units sold in Europe and worldwide since her creation in 1961.
Not only is Sophie great for teething but squeaks when squeezed, making your child feel proud when he/she learns to make it squeak on their own, or stand up by itself (my son surprised me when he stood her up on his highchair tray like it was nothing.)
Once Upon a time, a simple story….
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 moulding of rubber as a toy-making concept, came up with the idea of designing a giraffe. Such an exotic wildlife figure would be a first on the market, and its size and shape would be ideal for a baby’s small hands to grasp. SOPHIE is still “traditionally” produced to this day, a process that involves more than 14 manual operations. She is made from 100% natural rubber derived from the sap of the Hevea Tree.
