Sophie the Giraffe from Vulli

Sophie has wowed them in France for years and is now taking the US by storm. Sophie the Giraffe is an ideal toy for babies 3 months and older. Sophie stimulates each one of the key senses:

* Sight: Even at the age of 3 months, a baby’s eyesight is still limited with the ability only to distinguish high contrasts. The dark and attention-catching spots all over Sophie the Giraffe’s body provide visual stimulation and she soon becomes a familiar and reassuring presence for the baby.

* Hearing: Sophie’s squeaker keeps baby amused and stimulates hearing. To begin with, the funny sound Sophie makes when she is squeezed helps to stimulate baby’s hearing, and later, helps associate the link between cause and effect.

* Taste: Sophie the Giraffe is made of 100% natural rubber and food-grade paint, so she is completely safe to chew, just like a feeding bottle nipple. Her soft texture and numerous chewable parts (ears, horns, legs), make her perfect for soothing baby’s sore gums during teething.

* Touch: Touch is a baby's first means of communicating with the outside world. Sophie the Giraffe’s soft feel, like a parent’s skin, stimulates physiological and emotional responses that soothe baby and promote healthy growth and well-being. Sophie’s shape and size (7" or 18 cm) are perfect for baby’s small hands. She is very light, and her long legs and neck are easy for baby to grip, even from the earliest days.

* Smell: The singular scent of natural rubber from the Hevea tree makes Sophie the Giraffe very special and easy for your child to identify amid all other toys.
