Default best scrapper for kids to do muskrats

Looking for a fleshing scrapper that's kid friendly. Somethign that's not hard for kids to use, but not too expensive.

I've tried spoons and knife scraping and they can't quite get the hang of them.

Needs to be small b/c they are just for muskrat

Paint scraper round the side edges off or they will cut the hide. Best thing I have ever used. Kids at the south country pick nick do good using them.
