  • Kermit the Frog was celebrated by the state of California with a proclamation

  • Disney is declaring May 9 ‘Kermit the Frog Day’, in honor of Kermit’s 70 years on TV plus 70 years of The Muppets

  • Fans can get in on the fun by wearing green and sharing photos on Instagram with #KemittheFrogDay

Kermit the Frog is being honored in a very special way in celebration of the 70th anniversary of his television debut.

The California Legislature has honored Kermit with an official proclamation from the state. Kermit was recently presented with the honor at The Muppets Studio headquarters in Glendale, Calif., by the Honorable Nick Schultz of California’s 44th Assembly District.

The honor celebrates 70 years since Kermit’s 1955 television debut in Sam and Friends on a local Washington, D.C., area news program. Kermit was created and performed by the late Jim Henson and was originally made from his mother’s coat and a ping pong ball cut in half for his eyes.

Over the years, Kermit has become known as the ringleader for The Muppets, alongside dear friends Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear, Rowlf, Animal and more. The group also celebrates its 70th anniversary this month.

In a statement about the milestone moment, Kermit tells PEOPLE, “On this day in 1955 our trademark brand of gentle chaos first burst onto the scene thanks to our friends, Jim and Jane Henson. Hard to believe we’ve been singing, and dancing, and making people happy for that many years.”

He continues, “Speaking for all The Muppets, I just want to say how much we appreciate the lovers, the dreamers, and all the fans like you.”

The Muppets Studio is calling on fans of Kermit the Frog to wear green clothing on Friday, May 9, in honor of Kermit the Frog Day, and the 70th anniversary of The Muppets. You can get in on the fun online by sharing your photos on Instagram using hashtags #TheMuppets70 and #KermittheFrogDay. It’s easy wearing green!

As for Kermit, he has a special wish to ask of all Muppets fans in honor of the occasion — for everyone to do at least one act of kindness. It could be as simple as calling a friend or loved one and checking in on them, complimenting someone on their hard work or helping out your favorite charity.

“If we all pitch in and perform an act of kindness, imagine how much good we can put into the world,” says Kermit.
