There were eight main Muppet Babies under Nanny’s watch, plus two semi-regular guests. (We’re not including Baby Bean Bunny or Baby Robin, mostly because I don’t remember them at all.) Since we’re right in the middle of the holiday season, we’re being extra generous with the time today. Can you name them in 5 minutes?
Take the Quiz: Name the Muppet Babies
You may want to change the settings to allow Bunsen or Bunsen Honeydew instead of Baby Bunsen.

Not sure why you had a problem entering those in, toddes. It’s already programmed to allow both.

Got all 10 in :30 seconds. Would have been faster if I knew how to spell Rowlf. Fun quiz!

By the way, Bunsen and Beaker were the first two I entered.

Well, of course I forgot Skeeter, she’s non-canon.

*Facepalm*
How’d I forget Bunsen and Beaker?

I got them all…but I had to sing the theme song in my head to remember them all. I’ll be humming that all day now.

I missed Bunson since just COULD NOT remember him, I couldn’t get the right spelling of Rowlf, and I ALMOST put in Skeeter but I thought, you’re crazy, that’s from Doug!!! Whoops! Great quiz!!!

I got them all except for Animal. I was trying all the other members of the Electric Mayhem: Floyd, Janice… and something in the back of my mind kept telling me “it’s one of Frank Oz’s characters…”

All 10 in 17 seconds. And I agree with Nick, I will now have the theme song in my head all day…

I think the sad part about this quiz is that I completed it in 45 seconds WITHOUT using wikipedia… I just might need to get a life…

I forgot Scooter and Skeeter. Rowlf was hard to spell, and Bunsen and Beaker were my first answers, too.

WIN!!! that was fun!!!

I’m giving myself 9 since I couldn’t figure out how to spell Rowlf and Bunsen. Skeeter I forgot about though. Looks like there are a lot of videos on YouTube that I’ll have to check out.

The spelling of Rowlf’s name kept me from getting a perfect 10. Curse you W!

23 seconds. What ever happened to Skeeter? I guess there’s no hope for her now, as her name would generate giggles from the kids.

8/10
I must have spelled Bunsen Honeydew a dozen different ways. And it never took any of them…
It also took me a few tries to spell Rowlf right.
And I got Scooter but not Skeeter.
