Summary
A soft toy Kermit the Frog, based on the Muppet Show character. He is mostly made from a kind of green brushed nylon fabric, but he has white nylon eyes which have black pupils printed on and printed pink nylon inside his mouth. The soles of his feet are in a pale, yellowish green. Around his neck is a yellow 'ruff'' with a zigzag edge. He has been sewn in a fairly random sitting position. Sewn into the seam in his left side is a white ribbon label printed in black with washing instructions and manufacturer's details. He was presented free with a McDonald's 'Happy Meal'.
Provenance
Purchased for the Museum of Childhood by Mrs Sue J. Fraser (Collections Assistant) in June 2007.
