So, I think some may wonder, just as I did, what is so great about this little giraffe??? Well, Miss Ruby received one as a gift from my sister and that is all it took for me (and Ruby) to become a believer and to make sure we carried them at Adley Anne's! They are absolutely the BEST & a MUST HAVE!!!
Why is Sophie such a huge success? Sophie the Giraffe is BABY'S FIRST TOY, stimulating EACH OF HIS/ HER SENSES from the age of 3 months:
Sight: At the age of 3 months, a baby's eyesight is still limited and he/she can only make out high contrasts. The dark and contrasting attention-catching spots all over Sophie the Giraffe's body provide visual stimulation and she soon becomes a familiar and reassuring object for baby.
Hearing: Sophie's the Giraffe squeaker keeps baby amused and stimulates his/her hearing. To begin with, the funny sound Sophie makes when she is squeezed helps to stimulate baby's hearing, and then later, helps him/her to understand the link between cause and effect.
Taste: A Sophie the Giraffe is made of 100% natural rubber and food paint, and is completely safe to chew, just like a feeding bottle teat. Her soft texture and numerous chewable parts (ears, horns, legs), make her perfect for soothing baby's sore gums during teething.
Touch: Touch is the first means a baby has of communicating with the outside world. Sophie the Giraffe's soft feel, like baby's mother's skin, stimulates physiological and emotional response that soothe and promote healthy growth and well-being.
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 his/her other toys.
Easy to Grip: Sophie the Giraffe's shape and 18cm (7 inches) size 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 his/her earliest days.
