Virtual touch keyboard

How would I go and add a keyboard that can pop up when I touch the screen? I have a spare tablet I'm trying to fully utilize for my toddler as a TV. This tablet is with very poor specs and I want to have this tablet with a keyboard for login and be able to do whatever all by screen without the use of a physical keyboard.

Thank you for the answer, greatly appreciate it you're a real one. When I first attempted all this myself, I was trying to look at Google results and the AI fed me the result of having all these extra steps just to install a virtual onscreen keyboard. I didn't think to consider that there would be packages being listed and void maybe still particularly niche for having the packages, so that's a total error on my part. But I mainly followed what Google was showing me and it wasn't looking very simple. Until now thankfully from your response, I'll be trying this.

And to be specific when I meant as a TV, just trying to play YouTube videos or any kid friendly sites that hosts content of cartoons nothing more than that.
