I'd be interested in doing something similar for my toddler. All I've done so far is that when a specific YouTube channel has new episodes, I just download with yt-dlp and throw them on my Plex server. All to avoid advertising and the "recommendations" when using the YT app.

If you work something out, I'd love to read about it.

You might be interested in the FakeTV project on Github, specifically "Psuedo Channel". I found it a while back searching about basically the same idea (i.e. "how could I simulate something like TV but provide all my own content").

I haven't tried it out yet, but it seems to be an implementation of the basic idea, and it's in Python, and we're on HN, which means it's a fair bet that you could figure out how to tweak it to your specific desires if you wanted to!
