Sophie The Giraffe Teether by Vulli Calisson at Magic Beans

We are always excited to learn about hit baby toys from other countries. It’s a small world after all. This is how we met Sophie the Giraffe, arguably the most adored face in nurseries all over France as well as the rest of the globe.

Since 1961, this cute teether has been proudly handmade in the French Alps out of all natural rubber and is beautifully painted with non-toxic paint. Babies fall head over heels for the design which is soft, light, and super easy to grasp. In moments, curious tots start chewing on her knobby head to soothe sore and teething gums. She even makes a cute “squeak” sound when squeezed; a nice feature that brings big smiles to little faces.

You can expect Sophie to become your baby’s new sidekick, so you might consider getting two of these giraffes. After Sophie is used as a teething toy, she will likely stick around as a favorite figurine and it’s good to have a backup around. When little Sophie gets drooled on (or dunked in macaroni and cheese), simply wipe clean with a warm, damp cloth.
