I had the same thought. Finding good kids-sized components might be tedious.
I'm wondering: except for the wheels/tubes/tires, bars and cranks are there any other parts (BB?) that will be specific to the 24" bike?

So crank length, bar width, stem length, and seatpost type (usually zero offset are the big ones). Every kids bike I’ve seen has been 68mm English for the BB but the usual brackets installed are trash even on decent bikes (Trek and Giant both used loose ball square taper brackets and cranks without a spider so you couldn’t change the rings). I switched a 20” Trek Roscoe to a Chinese outboard bearing MTB crank to go with Microshift Advent super short. The Giant CX bike I found a 145 or 150 square taper crank that used a mountain BCD and narrow wide ring but had to install a 103mm BB to get the chainline and Q factor close to correct (original was 117? which matched the issued crank).
