I found a handy product to recommend: silicone spurtles. (They come in wooden versions, also.)

They are similar to spatulas, come in a variety of shapes and colors, and are excellent for scooping, stirring, separating, folding, and performing other kitchen chores. They're one piece, so no cracks or crevices to deal with; thus easy to clean. Also very sturdy.
