Ask a crafter to tell them what materials are needed for full sets of armor. (banded/studded/silk, etc) Have them buy/gather the materials and give them to the crafter for armor at cost price. Tip the crafter yourself. It's like a rewarding player-made quest that any new players should be able to do. I'd even be willing to do this for you, but I'm a very casual (hard to find) player.
Look up some of the newbie quests in their starting zones, using the wiki. Adds a bit of flavor during the early levels, and some are actually useful.

Edit: You could even help them get started with crafting themselves. Anybody can make patchwork armor. My plate-capable shadowknight sported a full set until she saved enough to skill up Blacksmithing for banded. It's better than the cloth you loot off skeletons, and feels more rewarding.
