The Little giraffe was born on the 25th of May in the year 1961…St Sophie’s day! In those days, the only animal toys available were farm animal or pet figures.. That is why one day in France, a certain Monsieur RAMPEAU, who was an expert in transforming sap from the HEVEA tree using the rotational molding of rubber as a toy-making concept, came up with the idea of designing a giraffe.
These little rubber toys are the cutest things. (I think they could also pass for a dog toy) I remember when I was a little girl we had something like this in the form of a scrub brush to be used in the bath..anyway, I love this little Giraffe!
