The Galaxy Tab A9+ Kids Edition can come with you wherever you go, thanks to the Puffy cover. This cover is specifically designed to provide some much needed comfort when your child brings the tablet on all of their adventures. It’s shock-absorbing, reinforced for accidental drops and falls, and comes in three colors, so your child can choose their favorite shade.

Your child can use the included Crayo-pen stylus to write and draw on the tablet. It’s similar to the Galaxy S Pen, but it resembles a crayon! The Crayo-pen can be stored in the tablet using the convenient pen slot. The tablet includes a tether connection for keeping the Crayo-pen safe and within reach.

 

To attach the Crayo-pen and tether, pass the looped end of the tether through the hole on the Puffy cover, and then pass the other end of the tether through the loop. Make sure to pull it tightly to secure it. Finally, screw the Crayo-pen onto the end of the tether.
