When kids are first learning how to do sewing and crafts like sewing on a button, give them this tip:
Don't have the thread doubled (through the needle and down) more than the distance of your fingers to your elbow. What tends to happen, is that the beginners have no concept of how much thread is needed (4-6x criss-crossed secures very well) and get a super long length that gets all tangled and knotted. From their fingers to their elbow will give them plenty of thread to stitch-on a button without getting frustrated.
