Welcome to
Karens Kids
Handmade Dolls
of Every Race
Thank you for stopping in to visit the kids.
My name is Karen Challender and I've been making handmade dolls for over 25 years. I make dolls of every race, including African American Dolls, Asian Dolls, BiRacial Dolls,
Caucasian Dolls, Latino Dolls and Native American Dolls. Each race comes with two skin tones, a variety of hairstyles and eye colors.
The ready made doll's are one of a kind dolls.. Once they've been sold, they are no longer available.
Each doll has it's own little personality. Most are smiling but some suck their thumbs or their binkies. Thumbs and binkies are attached with velcro so they can be easily removed from the face to dress your doll.
New for 2006.
These cuties are just like the original doll, only 16" tall rather than 21" tall. Lil Thelma was recently cast as "Pea" in the 2007 movie release
"Gone, Baby, Gone"
directed by Ben Affleck
Starring Cassey Affleck, Ed Harris, Morgan Freeman and more.

All the kids come complete with a cute little outfit that match their individual personalities... They come complete with either shoes, slippers or a blankie, depending on their outfit. Some of their clothes are store purchased, some are handmade, some of remade baby clothes to fit them.

The original 21" doll's can wear
Preemie sized clothing, which fit them perfectly, newborn sized clothing fit loosly and they can also wear doll clothes made for 21" dolls. These doll's are perfect for any age doll lover. Yarn hairdo's have knotted roots to keep little ones from pulling out the hair and the wigs can be styled in different hairdo's for added fun! The "kids" are very soft and have no dangerous parts making them perfect for the littlest doll lover.
The kids are priced between $48 and $53, depending on the cost of the materials to make them and the cost of their outfits. Most dolls are sent 2-3 day priority mail, but with my new shopping cart, you have a selection of what ever type of carrier you prefer... All doll's are securely packaged and sent within 48 hours of payment.

Karens Kids can also be custom ordered for $65. Please click HERE for more info. If you see a ready made doll you like that has been sold, I'll be glad to fashion a custom made doll after the doll you like.. It won't be exact, but will give me an idea of what you like.

The "kids" are made from soft craft velour or doe suede, are stuffed with premium polyester fiberfill and have either yarn hair or synthetic wig hair. They stand 21" tall (about the size of a newborn baby), are soft, cuddly and cute as a button. They have hand embroidered faces and soft sculpture fingers, toes, belly buttons and knees. Their soft body's and faces make them cuddly soft, just like a real kid!
I make each doll personally with tons of TLC!
