Crayola
Claytime (1982)
A
"Crayola Claytime" shaped container held everything you needed
to build your very own Kermit, Gonzo and Fozzie out of clay. The kit includes
plastic heads, arms, and legs.
Using
theses pieces you would shape the clay to build bodies for each of the
characters. Also included are cardboard accessories such as Kermit's banjo,
Gonzo's chicken and a guitar for Fozzie.

Vogue
Costumes and Dolls Patterns (1982)
Vogue
Patterns released these full body costumes for children and a clothing
pattern for the Fisher-Price Miss Piggy dress-up doll as well.
Kermit
Costume
This
handmade Kermit costume involved a person's head looking through Kermit's
mouth. His body is made of felt with a Styrofoam ball cut in half for
the eyes. Flippers are kept on the hands and feet with elastic straps.
This is a great Kermit costume and a good purchase if you come across
these patterns.
Fozzie
Bear Costume
Here's
another full body costume pattern. Like Kermit, you would look through
Fozzie’s mouth to see. The Fozzie costume pattern came complete with polka
dot tie, and little brown fedora. From head to toe, you are covered in
Fozzie's fur.
Animal
Costume
The Animal
costume is a little fierce and a lot of fun. Animal’s big head and expression
are great facsimiles of Animal himself. Animal wears a vest, pants torn
at the bottom, and sandals. Although the wearer provides "human" hands
and feet, this is still a great looking costume.
Miss
Piggy Costume
The
Miss Piggy pattern included all the instructions for you to turn your
child into Miss Piggy: an evening gown and gloves, a mask, and full accessories
complete with purple eye shadow and golden locks.
Miss
Piggy Doll Clothes
Vogue
also released some clothes patterns to fit the Fisher-Price Miss Piggy
dress-up doll. This set includes a ballerina outfit with shoes and tutu.
Patterns are also included for a workout outfit.

Glass Kits (1982)
These

oven.

designs: Kermit, Piggy, Animal, Gonzo, Fozzie, and Rizzo. The CD-ROM contains
embroidery information for a variety of embroidery machines. Using a computer
and embroidery machine hardware, one selects designs to download to a
disk and place in an embroidery machine. The machine will then embroider
the selected Muppet design.
This is the
only Muppet machine embroidery program available. It allows one to embroider
the designs an unlimited number of times (where as a store bought patch
can be used on one item and many other arts and crafts kits are limited).
