Scholastic and Kenner collaborated to create a line of seven 18" Baby-sitters Club Dolls in 1993. Each doll was uniquely designed and dressed and came with its own special edition mini book, with the doll's outfit corresponding to the story in the mini book. One doll and one mini book was made for each baby-sitter (a total of seven dolls). In 1998, 4 small-size dolls were made, with more planned initially, but were cancelled.

Character Bios[]
- Kristy - I'm Kristy. Even though I'm the shortest girl in my class, I have really big ideas! I founded the club and serve as its president. I just love all kinds of sports and I enjoy coaching a softball team for little kids.
- Mary Anne - My name's Mary Anne and I'm the secretary of the BSC. I have always wanted a sister, and now that my dad has married Dawn's mom, I have one! Logan my boyfriend, Tigger my cat and movie stars are just a few of the things I really like.
- Claudia - I'm Claudia the BSC's Vice-President. We hold our club meetings in my room because I have my own phone line and a stash of junk food! I'm not a great student, but art class is terrific. I love to read mysteries and to dress in wild clothes.
- Stacey - Hi! I'm Stacey. My first love is math and that has come in handy with my duties as the club treasurer. One of my favorite hobbies is shopping, especially in New York City where I'm from and where my dad lives now. I keep posters on my wall to remind me of Manhattan.
- Dawn - Hello, I'm Dawn, and I'm the club's alternate officer. I'm originally from California, but I think Stoneybrook, Connecticut is pretty neat! I think ghost stories are really cool, too. Mary Anne is my best friend, as well as my stepsister!
- Mallory - Hi, I'm Mallory -- but my friends call me Mal! I'm a junior officer of the club, and I can't wait until I grow up and become a famous author of children's books. Do you believe that I have seven younger brothers and sisters?
- Jessi - Hello, my name's Jessi. Someday I'll be a famous ballet dancer. But for now, I practice at ballet school, where I am in the advanced class! I'm a junior officer of the club, since I'm only 11. I absolutely love horses and performing onstage.

1995 Planned but not Released[]
1995 catalog page showing the unreleased dolls
The 1995 Kenner Girls Toy Fair Catalog showed several dolls that were planned but not released. These included an Abby doll (wearing the same outfit she wears on the cover of #90 Welcome to the BSC, Abby!), Dawn wearing jeans and sunglasses, Kristy wearing a purple shirt and pink shorts, and Claudia wearing a hippie-style outfit that was used later for one of the four much smaller Kenner dolls released in 1998. Since the 18" Kenner dolls were originally released in 1993 and stopped being produced in 1995, presumably these newer dolls were cancelled due to insufficient sales.
