Instead of techniques that might be too complicated for kids, try this. Show them how to create a double knot—simple enough, right? Fold one lace under the other and tighten, then do it again, but don’t tighten all the way. Leave a little bit of space so that you can feed the aglet of each lace through to form “bunny ears.”

Then, pull the loops in opposite directions to tighten. That’s it!
