Sophie The Giraffe hasbecome timeless and cross-generational. It is full of discoveries and activities to awaken a baby's senses! Sight: The dark and contrasting spots all over Sophie la Girafe's body provide visual stimulation and make her easily recognizable to the baby. She soon becomes a familiar and reassuring object. Hearing: Her squeaker keeps the baby amused, stimulates their hearing, and helps them to understand the link between cause and effect. Taste: Sophie la Girafe is very flexible and has lots of parts for the baby to chew (ears, horns, legs). She is perfect for soothing baby's sore gums when teething and is completely safe. Touch: Sophie la Girafe is perfect for the baby's small hands. She is very light and her long legs and neck are easy for the baby to grip. She is very soft to the touch, just like the baby's mummy, stimulating soothing physiological and emotional responses. Smell: The singular scent of natural rubber (from the hevea tree) makes Sophie la Girafe very special and easy for your child to identify amid all his other toys.
