Can I just share that Emilia loves her new Sophie the Giraffe. My mom wasn’t so sure about my gift idea, but I think she is now a believer. Emilia chews on her, squeaks the giraffe, and flaps her arm an smiles whenever I bring it near.

Soft, light and easy to grasp, Sophie La Giraffe is perfect for little hands and makes a happy sound when squeezed. Babies especially love her bumpy head to sooth their teething gums.

In today’s fast paced world it is unusual to see a high production toy still made by hand. Proudly handmade in the French Alps with the finest rubber (phthalate-free) and food quality paints. She is hardly new, Sophie was born in 1961, and is certainly a Bellani baby favorite.
