Do kids need to register mini drones with the FAA?

No. Drones under 250g flown recreationally do not require FAA registration. All drones on this list are well under 250g.

Are mini drones safe for indoors?

Yes, especially models with full propeller guards. Tiny propellers at low RPMs cannot cause injury. However, they can knock over light objects and startle pets — supervise young children.
