It needs measuring - not all hubs and rims are the same, so spokes are all different.
Head to local bike shop.

I would also suggest that if all the other spokes are ok and tensioned, you likely don't need the missing one for the weight of a kid and what they ride...

Thanks all. I don't have the missing one, so I'll have to remove and measure one of the others. Appreciate I can take it to a bike shop, but I like to do things like this myself.

It has been a good bike, but my kid has outgrown it so it'll be getting moved on once fixed.

A bike shop with wheel building facilities will knock you one up on their spoke machine, my local has a Phil Wood one, which I’m trusted to use, one action cuts and rolls the thread onto the spoke.

Note that spoke threads are rolled and not cut if tempted to fully DIY!

Also with wee wheels like that, if still straight, its probably OK with one missing, as per the post above or you can probably still get true enough.
