Sophie The Giraffe Teether by Vulli Calisson - Free Gift Wrap - Free Shipping Over $75

This famous Sophie the Giraffe is a worldwide known toy that even my friends' kids in Korea all have one. I purchased this for my 4 month old daughter. In the beginning, she couldn't quite get her little hand around any part of the Giraffe. She liked the squeaky noise it makes. Generally she plays with it while we are out in the stroller. She doesn't pay much attention to it at home. I washed it with water everytime she played with it since it all goes into her mouth. I noticed some water that went in through the hole in the back of the giraffe and I had to squeak it for a really long time, while shaking it to get the water out. I'm wondering what happens to the water I couldn't get out. I'm hoping it dries but I don't want that squirted into my baby's mouth if she's licking it and squeezing it.

Very engaging

My baby loves this toy so much we have two! It was great when she first started grasping and now she loves it for teething!

I've met so many babies who are absolutely in love with Sophie, so when my daughter started teething, buying the toy was a no-brainer. She's cute, she's safe, she squeaks and she feels good on the gums. What's not to like?

My daughter was not a big fan, though! She didn't care to use Sophie as a teether, and only started to like her when she learned how to make her squeak. She now plays with her because she gets a kick out of the squeaking sound. But I like the toy, and I'll be buying it as a gift for other babies.

A friend from France got us ours - and it was an instant hit with our son, then about 8 months old. He chewed on Sophie constantly, we took her everywhere - needless to say, now she's lost much of her lustre (and that nice smell she has at the outset! Addictive...) Great teething toy. We did have one or two gagging incidents where our son pushed the legs a bit too far into his mouth. So while it's not a choking hazard (too big) it can be pretty uncomfortable if pushed back to the throat! But they learn fast to not do that... I have the feeling the new design might have shorter legs but am not sure. In any case: we loved it enough to have bought it for at least 5 friends' babies by now.

I have five children so I didn't need anything when it came to my fifth. A friend got my this and what a thank you. It is so soft perfect for teething as all other toys are too painful when they try to chew them. Also the legs are the right size for little mouths but don't have to worry about swallowing it as the rest is so big.

I must admit, it was Sophie's rockstar status that first drew me to her. After all, this petite piece of rubber has over 20 facebook pages dedicated to her from around the world and millions of loyal fans.

When we first got Sophie, I was mildly obsessed with her and my son was, in a word, uninterested. Every time he opened his mouth, there was I, gently forcing Sophie's little smiling face in, only to be rejected time and time again.

By the time he reached four months, he finally started showing mild interest in using Sophie's ears to reach the back of his gums. And now, by five months, he laughs when she squeaks and happily chews on her face and feet.

While I won't say she's quite "the teether to end all teethers"(as she's been touted), she's definitely a toy to keep in the diaper bag or on hand for emergency teething situations. And, she's so darn cute.

I love to give Sophie as a baby gift. My daughter love her when she was very tiny. I like that food quality dyes are used it gives every Spophie her own look.

My child has loved Sophie since he was about three months old. It's a great, durable toy that is easy to grasp and great for babies to chew on. It's not too hard, so it won't hurt their gums and also makes a delightful squeak when you squeeze it. It's a good size for babies to grasp. Also, it cleans easily and can stand up on a table.

My 3 month old is showing all of the signs of teething! I gave him Sophie to chew on and he is in love! He smiles when he sees this toy and is content to chew for long periods. Great toy, a must have!
