This iconic giraffe measures approximately 18 cm and is hand‑finished with 76 dark spots. A built‑in squeaker produces the characteristic "pouet" sound that engages infants during play. The soft natural rubber makes Sophie gentle on sore gums while varied textures on the ears, legs and neck encourage tactile exploration.

Sophie la girafe is presented in gift‑ready packaging and includes a small booklet about the toy. The piece also carries an AuthenticVision QR authenticator to verify originality. Designed in Paris in 1961, the model remains compact and easy to hold for tiny hands; care instructions recommend gentle surface cleaning and avoiding full submersion so the sound mechanism keeps working.

HISTORY: Created on May 25, 1961 in Paris by Mr. Rampeau, this little giraffe became known as Sophie. The original measures 18 cm, displays 76 dark spots and emits the now‑famous "pouet." Since that first production, more than 70 million copies have been distributed worldwide and the toy has become a classic first companion for infants.

    Would reassess my purchase

    Bought this on another mom’s recommendation. It’s beautiful and very soft, but I feel there are other teethers with similar features at lower cost.

    Baby only laughs at the giraffe

    I lost one while traveling and repurchased it. From newborn in hospital, it was our go‑to toy. At three months my baby began smiling and cooing at Sophie only. The squeak calms him, the clear face and textures draw attention. Keep water out of the back hole or the sound stops; I wash carefully and the markings fade a bit, which made me nostalgic. My child now grabs legs and neck and chews different spots. Bought again at six months and very glad I did.

    Sophie!!

    A must‑have for us. My three‑year‑old still loves how soft it feels and asked for another when she lost hers.

  12. Chubby & Scarlett 5/5

    A classic and safe teething toy that babies love

    Sophie is a timeless choice. Made from natural Hevea rubber, it’s soft, lightweight and the squeak captures attention. Easy to wipe clean and great textures for teething.
