The Crayon Episode


Does anyone remember the episode where Mr. Rogers goes to some crayon factory (maybe it was Crayola) and we see how crayons are made? It's my all-time favorite, often talked about on random message boards, and I have no clue which season it's in. Any ideas?


"Oh I'm sorry. Did I break your concentration?"

Can't remember the season. It was actually a film played on Picture Picture. Stuff like that I still enjoy seeing as it's something we normally don't get to see being done.

the episode was made and aired in 1981. check the credits at the end of the episode the next time it airs on PBS...

That's one of my Favorite Episode's as well. I just saw a rerun of it a couple of weeks ago with my Nephew.

Youtube- type Mr Rogers crayons

It is kinda weird how the crayons look like the color of what also used to be mac and cheese. Shows how we're more careful today about nutrition issues.

I've been to The Crayola factory in Easton, PA. It's closer to Philly, but at least in the same state. Indeed it's a very interesting visit.
