Developed in France in 1961, Sophie the Giraffe has been a part of babies' lives for more than 40 years.

Made of 100 percent natural rubber from the Hevea tree, this lovable teether from Vulli has a soft feel and a pleasing smell, and is colored with food grade paint. Sophie's bumpy parts help soothe baby's sore gums, and her long legs are just right for reaching back molars.

The perfect teether, Sophie also provides visual stimulation with her contrasting giraffe spots, and keeps baby amused with a happy squeaker sound when squeezed.

Available at Amazon for $17.25.
