This photograph is by photographer ‘hilpalny‘ on Flickr. The photographer notes:

At the fleece festival in Prospect Park zoo in Brooklyn,  they had drop spindles, spinning wheel demos and lots of fiber for the kids to try. I taught my friend’s kids just the basics (which is all I know anyway…) and off they went with it.
The little one (4) is a natural! He flicks that spindle like a pro!
