Children imitate their parents and older kids. I know two little girls, the younger of whom follows her big sister around, almost every step, and copies everything the older girl does. In this picture I was learning how to do something my mother did often, but hardly anybody does it anymore. It's almost an outdated skill.
Another thing I like about this picture is what it shows about the informality of playclothes that was perfectly acceptable back then. (My mother would never have allowed me outdoors in something considered inappropriate.)
