Meryl was initially recycled from a stock lamb puppet used on the show as early as 1977, but with more feminine eyes and an added wig (which would alternate between blonde and brunette). Starting in season 20, a new version of the puppet was introduced: her face dyed to match her wool, modified nose and eyes and a permanently brunette hairdo.
