The Scarecrow
From Muppet Wiki
The Scarecrow is one of Dorothy Gale's companions on the way to the Emerald City in The Muppets' Wizard of Oz. Rescued from a field where he was tormented by crows, the strawman, or straw-frog, joins Dorothy, in the hopes of acquiring a brain. Glinda appears to be smitten with him.
The Scarecrow puppet is differentiated from the regular Kermit puppet in that it is made from green burlap instead of felt.
