The handle of the round plastic object feels really distinctive to me. It would clearly work with a normal hammer-like grip, but it also has the thumb-print inviting the user to choke the grip up close and apply lots of force. I'm pretty sure it's for scraping.
The metal tool is a bit confusing; it looks like it could cut, but it's clearly not a knife.
After a minute's thought, I'm comfortable guessing that this is a child's pumpkin-carving kit.

I found a Swiss website that offers a similar set of tools, called «Ustensiles à courge», which translates to «Squash utensils».
I believe that @ShapeOfMatter correctly identified the purpose, so I am givng that person the correct answer status...
