Kelly Roberts with the "bottle mouth" head mold.

In the series of Barbie toy dolls, Kelly Roberts is presented as one of Barbie's "younger sisters" (often rumored to be Barbie's illegitimate daughter). She debuted in 1995. Originally the baby of the family (replaced by her younger sister Krissy Roberts in 1999), she also has two older sisters named Stacie and Skipper. Kelly appears to be preschool or kindergarten age (around 5 or 6), but she is officially 2 years old. In Europe, she is known as Shelly. Kelly dolls are still being produced as of 2006.

Ever since their debut in 1995, Kelly dolls have almost never varied from their original design. However, there was a period when the design of the Kelly doll was changed: their heads and eyes became larger, their legs and arms became longer and their heads became oval-shaped instead of the more traditional and realistic rounded shape. However, this change was short-lived and Kelly dolls with the original design were soon back on the market.

Traditionally, the Kelly dolls were sold by themselves with a set of accessories. For example, Bathtime Kelly was sold with a Kelly-sized bathtub, tub toys and a bathrobe. Kelly was also sold in sets with Barbie, as in the Shopping Fun Barbie & Kelly set. The friends of Kelly were sold in single boxes and it was and still is common for the Friends of Kelly to be sold with small accessories. Now, Kelly dolls are sold in packs of five with one Kelly doll and four friends of Kelly and there are lots of small accessories included with each doll. However, some dolls are still being sold in single packages.
