Don't waste the money
This uses the Color Wonder Finger paint And Coloring Book. (Which to me isn't really 'mess free'. ) Add batteries to the paintbrush and the brush lights up the color of the finger paint as it is dipped in the color. The directions say 'clean the brush after dipping it into each color'!! For a 4 yr old they want to mix all the colors, and they still want to put their fingers in it, to finger paint.
The 'light brush' is neat when it lights up, but to put batteries in, having to wipe the brush clean after dipping into each paint, then having to wash the brush after each use, you might was well just get the plan old finger paints. My child wanted to still put her fingers into the 'mess free paint' too, so I then had to wash her all up. I didn't think this was 'mess free' as advertised, a bit time consuming cleaning, and why spend the extra money for a 'light brite' brush you have to clean.
