A young version of Kermit the Frog, as seen in the Muppet Kids books and video games.
Muppet Kid Kermit usually wears a red baseball cap and a striped shirt, along with his signature collar. Kermit lives with his mom and dad, next door to his best friend Fozzie. His other best friend is Piggy, who (naturally) has a crush on him. After school, Kermit likes to play baseball and spend time with the Frog Scouts.
Kermit is a central character in Too Many Promises, Flip Flap Flop and Kermit and the New Bicycle. Kermit's relationships with other characters are explored in several books too, including his friendship with Piggy (in What's Fair Is Fair), Bean Bunny (in Kermit's Cleanup), Skeeter (in The Best Gift of All), and Fozzie (in Frogs Only!, I Want to Go Home, Help! We're Lost!, I'm Mad at You!, and I'm Sorry!).
Kermit was the only Muppet kid to appear outside his illustrated form: an adult Kermit poser was dressed as Muppet Kid Kermit for the photo covers of Kermit Learns Windows and Kermit Learns How Computers Work.

Notes[]
Early character model by Michael K. Frith.
- In the direct-to-video movie Kermit's Swamp Years from 2002, Kermit's childhood is shown in a different way: he lives in the swamp with his mother and a whole bunch of brothers and sisters. The young Kermit puppet wears no shirt or baseball cap.
