The So Pure Sophie La Girafe Cubes Review


As you know, Leo happens to be a big Sophie la Giraffe fan. This love for all things Sophie started at a very young age and seems to have continued to grow at the same pace as Leo has over the past 10 months.

So when Leo was asked if he would like to review the brand new So Pure Sophie la Giraffe Cubes, we really did jump at the chance, and even gave each other a big high five. I am not ashamed to admit it...I too love all things Sophie! That amazing Giraffe got a smile out of my beautiful boy, the instant that they met, with that very first squeek... and we have never ever looked back.

When the post man knocked our front door to deliver our exciting parcel this morning, Leo and I delved straight in and between us opened up the parcel to reveal a attractive box...with Four very bright cube's awaiting Leo, to have a very good play with.

It is safe to say that we wasted no time, and moments later we had successfully got the cube's out. Leo was straight away in his element, chewing, throwing and admiring his brand new Sophie Cube's. Bouncing them around the room, and even off my head. The colour's are all very bright, you could even say neon, which really adds to their charm and is sure to get any baby interested. They are the perfect size to be clasped by a baby's hands, and Leo had no problem at all doing exactly what he wanted with them.

The cubes are manufactured from 100% natural rubber to develop the skills that are needed in order to perform tasks with their hands.The cubes help baby to learn the basic motor skills while playing, picking and piling them up, or throwing and catching them - throwing them is something Leo really enjoys, and as they are 100% rubber, they bounce too!

On each bright cube, there is a different raised motif. There are flowers, Bumble Bee's, Beetles and of course... The famous Sophie Giraffe herself. Each unique motif varies baby's sensations of touch and the lovely bright tangy colours also help to stimulate sight.

As with many of the Sophie Giraffe products, these cube's are made from 100% natural rubber, this is great for baby as they can bite into these cubes without any danger. The motifs are great for teething babies, who like Leo will automatically chew on anything and everything he is given. They are very light which makes them easy for little babies to grasp and of course relieve the tension that teething brings with it.

Leo sat very contently and played with his cubes and what I especially liked about the cubes was that they are soft and easy to handle. Together we played with them happily, and I even started piling them up, only for my little monster to swipe his hand over and erase all my efforts.

I would highly recommend Sophie la Giraffe Cubes to anyone with a teething baby, these cube's can be easily carried around with you in the changing bag as they are so light. They don't take up much room, and they will also provide a great source of entertainment on your travels. We took our cube's out with us today and when we stopped for lunch, Leo had them in his high chair while I finished eating.

They are a great option for 'babies first blocks' if you did not wish to go down the wooden block route just yet, and they can be stacked one on top of the other, teaching baby how to do it for themselves. The cube's can be used by babies from 3+ months, which is around about the time they will start holding objects for themselves.

Overall I have been very impressed and Leo seems to share my glowing thoughts on them. We give them a BIG thumbs up, and as usual we love all that is Sophie Giraffe.

Leo & The Cotswold Wildlife Park

Hey! Leo here!

My oh my! Yesterday I went on one very exciting adventure. I really want to tell you all about it but I just don't know where to begin!


Right...So I was hustled into the car with no idea at all where I was going. When we finally pulled to a stop I was very ready to get out and see the new surroundings, normally all I can see is my Mummy while in my Pushchair, but today I was facing out into the world! I could see all different kinds of strange creatures...they didn't look like anyone or anything I had ever seen before... What were they and where was I?


Mummy explained that we were at a place called the Cotswold Wildlife Park and that all the strange creatures I was seeing were Animals. Silly Mummy made it sound like all my questions had now been answered with this one word 'Animals', but really didn't answer any of my questions at all!


Anyway I must have forgotten that I cared what they were...eventually I just found them very interesting to watch, I realised that if I started crying in the Pushchair, Mummy would pick me out so I could see everything in much more detail! It is so nice to finally have Mummy trained the way I like. Turning the 'Cry' on and having her know exactly what to do is such a brilliant feature!


I saw so many Animal's that I have never seen before, Animal's that exceeded my wildest imagination...and I have read some books such as the Gruffulo! There was the Rhino...Golly gosh, that thing stinks more than I do after a special nappy! I would not want to clean up after him!
There was the Lion, who looked like a big pussy cat, I don't understand why Mummy wouldn't let me bring one home! He could sleep at the end of my cot...I mean there is Lion everything in my room anyway...so why not complete the set??


There was a REALLY tall group of Sophie Giraffe's...I don't know how my Sophie got to be so small? Not that I mind as...I am glad my Sophie can ride along in my Pushchair with me. I think even Sophie looked a little surprised to see her giant relations!


Moving along through our adventures in the wild wilderness....We finally came to what I am told are Penguins! They are kind of like Duck's....but they don't fly and over bread they would rather eat fish!? I was so very intrigued by them, I tried my hardest to wriggle free to lunge forward...you know! Maybe catch one!? Mummy had a very tight grip on me...She is such a spoil sport! I mean...I only wanted one to bring home!

I experienced some real firsts yesterday and I had no idea such a diverse world existed out there....I do hope that I get to go and see many more sights in the next few months. Mummy keeps talking about going back to this place called work...I think going on more adventures with me would be so much more fun! I will have to show my disapproval to this work Malachi!

Here is a small clip of our day at the Cotswold Wildlife Park!

007 Mission - Search & Rescue: Sophie The Giraffe



Mission Notes
Sophie The Giraffe was last seen safe and well in Leo's clutches on a brisk walk home from town. Sophie was nestled securely inside Leo's cosytoes. Upon release from the cosytoes for Leo's entertainment and play....Leo dropped Sophie without Mummy's knowledge.

Upon a check point it became apparent that Sophie The Giraffe had jumped ship....Your mission is to send out a search and rescue team....Find Sophie and bring her home safe and well, for Leo's future enjoyment and companionship....

Now GO!

The Mission Unfolds...
It is un-clear just how long Sophie has been missing, and whether or not she had been left by the river whilst feeding the ducks, or was lying helpless on the side of the road wondering if she would ever be found. All that is known... was she is missing.

I 007 agent Mummy took an oath to serve and protect Leo and all his beloved toys, and now one of them is missing. I will not sleep...or eat until Sophie is found and returned back to her rightful owner!

Our story unfolds on a sunny winters day on Saturday 28th January at about 3pm...Leo was happily playing with Sophie before her disappearance on a walk home...or so I thought...

The cosytoes was un-zipped to enable further play and Leo must have taken that small opportunity to throw Sophie over-board...but where? There was no squeak from Sophie to alert to any problems...just silence.

I looked around the push chair and immanent area...No sign. To save ourselves a walk back to town I continued the short walk home to enlist a team of help. We jumped into the 007 agents car and doubled back on ourselves!

Upon our initial sweep of the area...There was no sign of Sophie at all. We drove around the whole area...we finally reached the realisation that Sophie may have been Giraffe napped and as the minutes rolled by, the chances of finding Leo's beloved Sophie became slimmer, and slimmer.

We turned the car back around and decided to call the mission in: Sophie was gone. I couldn't help thinking that we had given up too soon, but if Sophie had been Giraffe napped - We had nothing to go on. What an expensive toy to loose...

Then on the drive home...we saw the silhouette of what looked to be SOPHIE!! There she was, lay on the pavement next to the church. It had to be her...How many Sophie Giraffes do you found lay around on the streets!? It HAD to be Leo's Sophie!

I slammed the car in to a halt on a junction and put the hazards on, I enlisted my other agent to quickly jump out of the car and retrieve Sophie before she came to any harm!

Sophie The Giraffe had been found safe and well! Nothing a wash wouldn't solve. She looked a little shaken but relieved that 007 Agent Mummy and her search and rescue team had found her!

The Aftermath
Sophie the Giraffe was given a thorough clean up. She was returned to Leo who beamed when he saw her. Mummy Agent made Leo promise that he would never throw Sophie over board again. She told Leo the story of Lotso in Toy Story... How Lotso was never the same after being left and forgotten.

Leo cooed in acceptance, pleased that Sophie was back where she belonged.

Sophie says
'It was a scary day...I know Leo meant me no harm and I count my lucky Giraffe spots that Agent Mummy found me. I now intend to put the events of that day behind me and focus on making my Leo smile'

Today....
Sophie and Leo are still the best of friends....

Mission Lessons
Keep a close eye on all Toys... Just in case 007 Agent Mummy needs to perform such actions at a future date.

Well done 007 Agent Mummy! Look after Sophie now little Leo xx
