Sophie The Giraffe All-Natural Rubber Teether

Sophie The Giraffe All-Natural Rubber Teether
Sophie The Giraffe All-Natural Rubber Teether
There is no other giraffe more recognizable these days than Sophie. Sophie the Giraffe is certainly our most popular teether, and babies love her!

Born in 1961, her success is legendary in France. Made in the French Alps with natural rubber and non-toxic paint, Sophie has been safely cuddled and chewed for over 40 years! She is soft, light, and easy to grasp and fits perfectly into little hands. Sophie is loveable and amusing. She even makes a happy sound when squeezed. Babies especially love her bumpy head to soothe their teething gums.




SOPHIE IN THE PRESS:

In France, Sophie the giraffe has been de rigueur for decades.

SHAWNA WAGMAN
Special to The Globe and Mail

Her skinny neck has been clasped in the chubby, slippery fists of French babies since 1961. Her bumpy head and flexible feet have soothed millions of sore little gums. You might say she's become Hollywood's most homely It Girl. She's a 17-centimetre rubber giraffe named Sophie. And she's coming to a drooling kid near you.

The genteel giraffe is fashioned out of natural rubber and non-toxic paint so it's safe and soft. Most important: Babies adore it, Williamson says.

"People come in the store saying they've heard this toy is like candy for babies." She began selling Sophie in May and it has been flying out the door ever since.

Aside from making a happy little squeak when squeezed, the spotted giraffe does little more than stare blankly, smile sweetly and smell faintly of vanilla. So what makes Sophie such a phenomenon?

Entrepreneurial mom Jane Wood says part of the appeal is its retro look. She was living in Britain when she first met Sophie. Her fourth child got it as a gift from friends who were visiting France, where, she discovered, the toy is legendary. "Over there, it's a standard thing," Wood says. "If you have a baby, you have a Sophie."

Celebrity moms and wannabes get their Sophies in stylish gift baskets from Teri Weis, owner of the Elegant Child (http://www.elegantchild.com) in Beverly Hills. "Kate Hudson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Debra Messing - you name it, they all have one," Weis says.

"It's like magic," she says of her top-selling item. "It becomes every baby's favourite toy."

You don't have to be rich and famous to test out that claim. Less than 20 bucks buys your favourite bambino his or her very own.
