"Sophie The Giraffe"

Sophie the giraffe has a history:

The little giraffe was born in France on May 25th in 1961... Saint Sophies day.

At that time, the only animal toys available were pet and farm animal figures...

Monsieur RAMPEAU had assimilated the rotational moulding of rubber as a toy-making concept. He came up with the idea of designing a giraffe, a well known wildlife figure.

This famous wildlife giraffe figure was the first toy on the market. His size and shape is ideal for baby's small hands to grasp.

Sophie, who looked exactly the same then as she does today, went into production on a thursday May 25th, whence her name.

Sophie was an immediate success. Young parents straightaway saw that she was a must for their children... When the baby starts teething and the first signs appear, Sophie the giraffe soothes babies' gum instantly.

By simple word of mouth, the little giraffe's fame spread.

From then on, children always loved hearing Sophie squeak whenever they pressed her tummy or head.

Sophie is still produced by a company "VULLI". She is made of 100% natural rubber derived from the sap of the Hevea tree.

Sophie stimulates sensory development:

• SIGHT
The dark and contrasting spots all over Sophie's body provide visual stimulation.
• HEARING

Her squeaker keeps baby amused, stimulates the baby's hearing, and helps baby understand the link between cause and affect by pressing Sophie's tummy and head.
• TASTE

Sophie is flexible, and bendable too. Baby can chew ears, head, and legs. Sophie is 100% safe, she is made of natural rubber and food paint. Stimulating soothing physiological and emothional responses.
• SMELL

The delicious smell of natural rubber(from the Hevea tree) helps your baby identify Sophie amid all his/her other toys.
