“The Velveteen Rabbit” Quotes Free Printables
The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams Bianco is a beloved children’s book that has captured hearts for generations. To celebrate the magic and depth of this story, I’ve created a collection of 14 printable quotes that highlight the Velveteen Rabbit’s journey from a toy to a real rabbit.
This story, with its gentle wisdom and heartfelt moments, beautifully illustrated by William Nicholson, shows the tender journey of becoming “Real.”
These 4×6″ printables feature original illustrations from the book, paired with touching quotes, and are designed with a whimsical old paper graphic and typewriter font to evoke a vintage, nostalgic feel—perfect for adding a bit of literary charm to your space.
What’s Included in this Collection
The quotes in this collection span the entire storyline of The Velveteen Rabbit, capturing moments of love, transformation, and the nursery magic that makes toys come alive.
Whether it’s the kind-hearted little boy making a cozy nest for his bunny or the nursery magic fairy granting the Rabbit his wish to be a real rabbit, these printables bring out the heart of the story.
Here are some of the quotes you’ll find:
“Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.”
“Wasn’t I Real before?” asked the little Rabbit. “You were Real to the Boy,” the Fairy said, “because he loved you. Now you shall be Real to every one.”
“Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”
Each quote captures the Velveteen Rabbit’s journey through the ups and downs of love, loss, and transformation, showing how even a little shabby velvet nose and a bit of real shabbiness can be a sign of the deepest love.
