If there is one thing that Mister Rogers was good at, it was explaining how things get made. For me, the visit to a crayon factory is as good as television gets. I wanted to find all the episodes where Mister Rogers teaches how something gets made so I did some text scraping with Beautiful Soup and compiled this list. Pull Requests definitely welcome!
