Sophie the Giraffe
Bonjour! Nice to meet you. Let's play together.
This adorable giraffe toy looks as though it could say those very words.
Sophie the giraffe was born in France and has been loved by babies ever since 1961, and it is said that French people grow up with Sophie.
The reason babies can't bear to let go when they hold her is that this giraffe hides many little secrets. Her size and shape are easy for a baby to grasp, and she is wonderfully soft.
The squeak she makes when squeezed also feels somehow nostalgic and gentle. Every sensation she offers is designed to be irresistibly appealing to babies.

Patterns that are easy for babies to see
Newborn babies can only distinguish objects with high color contrast. The brown patterns and round black eyes on Sophie’s white body are easy for babies to see and help develop their vision.

Just the right volume
The squeak Sophie makes when squeezed is a sound babies love. It also helps them learn cause and effect: “If I touch this toy, it makes this sound.” The sound is just right—not too loud—while helping to develop your baby’s hearing.
Touch
Soft as bare skin
Being touched is a baby's first contact with the new world. Soft like a mother's skin, Sophie has a texture that babies know well. With her easy-to-grip long neck and legs, Sophie is perfect for little hands.
