Roll the second snowball nearby until it’s the same height as the top of your character’s ears.It needs space around it, since you’ll need to be able to talk to him. Roll this large snowball to where you want your Snowboy to end up.Roll one snowball back and forth until it’s at the same height as the top of your character’s eyes.Take your two snowballs to an open area of your island.How to make a perfect Snowboy Your snowballs should be around these sizes to make the perfect Snowboy Image: Nintendo EPD/Nintendo via Polygon A Snowboy will stick around for four days before he melts into oblivion. You’ll need these to make the DIY recipes he rewards you with. Perfect Snowboys will also give you a Large Snowflake every day until the Snowboy melts. You can make Snowboys of various sizes, but only a perfectly-made Snowboy will give you a seasonal DIY recipe. Note that no snowballs will spawn on your island if your airport gate is open. (We were previously able to respawn snowballs by entering and exiting buildings, but this seems to have changed based on our testing.) If you accidentally break the snowball, you can respawn one by saving and reloading your island. Rolling the snowball on top of patterns or paths will make it shrink.Īfter growing above a certain size, you can roll the snowballs into each other to create a Snowboy. They only grow when rolled on top of grass. To make a Snowboy, you’ll have to push the snowballs around, making them grow. You can find snowballs in open areas on your island. This takes place about halfway through December for Northern Hemisphere players and around halfway through June for Southern Hemisphere players. You’ll only see snowballs to roll into Snowboys once the ground is completely covered in snow. Our Animal Crossing: New Horizons guide explains where to find snowballs and how to make perfect Snowboys. Snowboys reward special ice DIY recipes and Large Snowflakes. Just like in previous games, Animal Crossing: New Horizons players can make snowmen (called Snowboys in-game) during the winter.
