Teething Toy or Glorified Dog Toy? Sophie the Giraffe
If you have a teething baby you might be familiar with Sophie the Giraffe. She is made by Vulli, a French company. Apparently, babies have been playing with Sophie for over 40 years now. She is made of 100% natural rubber and paint. On the box our Sophie came in it said the paint used is food paint which is safe for the baby. After hearing all the rage about Sophie we decided to spend the $20+ to get one for our little teether. I was so excited when it finally arrived! I took it out of the box and what is it? It looks just like a dog toy! It even comes with a squeaker just like a dog toy! My daughter was about 4months old at the time so she takes it and tries to hold it. Not too interested in it but she’ll hold on to it, maybe gnaw on it for a few minutes. Now at 8 months she still plays with it but whether I give her Sophie or a rubber play block that squeaks she’s just as happy.
Will I spend $20+ to get another Sophie ever again? Probably not. Will I recommend Sophie to friends? Eh, maybe.
