"Once upon a time … a little giraffe was born in Paris … on the 25th of May, in the year 1961.  Saint Sophe's Day!

Mr. Rampeau, who an expert in transforming sap from the Hevea tree using the Rotational moulding concept … came up with the idea of designing … a giraffe!

Sophie is made of 100% natural rubber from the sap of the Hevea tree.

As Baby's first toy, stimulating each of their senses, she was an immediate success … 

Sight:  Her attention-catching spots provide visual stimulation.

Touch:  As soft as their mother's skin.

Taste:  Perfect for soothing baby's sore gums.

Hearing:  her squeaker keeps baby amused and stimulates their hearing.

Easy to Grip:  her size is perfect for for baby's small hands

A few years later … Sophie left Paris … for Rumilly … in Haute Savoie … where she is still produced.  Traditionally made with a process that involves 14 manual operations.

For decades, babies the world over have been raving about Sophie the Giraffe.

In 2011, Sophie the Giraffe will be 50 years old … and the story goes on!"
