How to Make a Snowman in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
It’s that time of the year when your island’s surface areas get covered with white ice crystals, with snowbanks abound for you to play with and test your creativity. One of those creative things you can do in New Horizons when it’s snowy is to make a snowboy or snowman☃️.
While it’s quite difficult to mold a perfect one, especially for first-timers, you should be up and running in no time with the steps in this guide. Got a few minutes? Keep reading to find out how to make a snowman in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
How to Build a Snowman in Animal Crossing
For starters, you can mold a snowboy or snowman whenever your island is fully covered in snow. This happens between June 11th and August 24th in the Southern Hemisphere and December 11th to February 24th in the Northern Hemisphere.
Thankfully, the game makes things a tad easy by providing you with two snowballs in a random location every day snow covers your island. However, there must be open spaces on your island for these snowballs to appear; otherwise, they won’t spawn due to too many buildings and trees blocking them.
Once you’ve found two snowballs, follow the steps on how to make a snowman in Animal Crossing: New Horizons below:
- Roll each of the balls around to become bigger but ensure one is bigger than the other. You can roll them by bumping into them with a kick, which takes about 13 tries
- Roll till you get the ideal size. But again, ensure one is bigger than the other to form a snowman. If you’ve made a mistake, you can go into any building and head back out for the balls to respawn
- Once you’ve rolled the two balls into the ideal sizes, bring them close to each other
- Next, push the smaller one onto the bigger one to build a snowman
And that’s it! You did it! Building a perfectly-sized and optimal snowman gets you more rewards, so you might want to keep the following tips at the back of your mind.
Tips for Building a Snowman
- Avoid rolling the snowballs into trees and buildings as that could destroy them
- Make one snowball the ideal size for the head and the other for the body of the snowman
- If you roll a snowball into a bigger size than necessary, Just roll it on open ground without snow, such as paths, beaches, or the plaza, to shrink it
- Make the bottom snowball’s height to reach your character’s shoulder or chin
- To get the near-perfect size, roll one snowball for 17 seconds and the other for 12 seconds
