Customer Review
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 August 2015It's fabulous! The toy was super-fast delivered (in fact it arrived 2 days earlier than expected) just on my baby's 3-month "birthday" - she aboslutely loved it and grasped it easily no sooner we gave it to her.
It was about a week or two before that our baby started to grasp on anything that would come close to her hands and try putting it into her mouth, and so when I saw Sophie la Giraffe on amazon (I had not known the toy before) I thought it could be a very good idea to get it for her - and so it proved to be: Sophie is just perfect for a small baby's hand exercises - the long neck and legs can be easily grasped even by a tiny hand and the many curves and protruding cheeks, nose and ears fit perfect into a baby's mouth (our baby especially loves sucking on Sophie's nose). I think it also stimulates pretty well the developement of hand control- after a couple of days out little was easily passing the toy from one hand to the other, turning it around etc.
The quality of the toy is really good and considering how it is made it is really good value. The material is very soft and very nice in touch, is very elastic and looks durable, and the very delicate smell is of natural rubber. Do keep in mind that the toy is made in France and not in one of the many low-cost factories in China as most of the toys nowdays and part of the production is completed manually (each giraffe is finished: polished and painted individually by hand), and so though the price might seem a bit high for a rubber toy, it still offers a great price-quality relation in my opinion.
I hope it will work well as well as a teething toy when the time comes! Sophie is so nice, I really would not want to change it for another one!
