Sophie la Girafe (or Sophie the Giraffe to those of us without French GCSE) is an institution in France, and has been since she was created in 1961. Still made using the same methods, she is virtually indestructible and completely safe and natural.

Sophie is a brilliant teether with her soft-yet-firm feel, and offers an experience for all five of your baby's senses:

• Sight – Sophie's light body and dark spots make the perfect high-contrast toy for holding your baby's attention
• Hearing – Sophie squeaks when your baby squeezes her, so your baby can start to learn about cause and effect
• Taste – Sophie has lots of different parts to chew, soothing your baby's gums, and she's completely safe
• Touch – lightweight Sophie, with her long neck, is perfect for little hands to grip, and she's very soft to the touch
• Smell – the hevea tree from which the rubber comes has a unique scent, which makes Sophie a very special toy

Sophie la Girafe is taking the baby world by storm, with celebrity babies regularly being seen clutching her!
