Animal Crossing: New Leaf/Snowpeople

From 11th December to 24th February, two snowballs will spawn in your town each day. They can be used to create one snowperson each day - if you make a perfect snowperson you will be rewarded with special items.

Creating Snowpeople
It makes sense to have a large area of your town free to make snowpeople over this period. If you build snowpeople close to objects like trees, rocks, PWPs or other buildings they may disappear. To create the snowpeople, you much first locate the snowballs in your town. To start, you will have to gently walk into the balls to move them through the snow. The more you move them around in the snow, the larger they will grow - if you roll them over dirt or cobbled areas they will get smaller.

Be careful with the snowballs, if you crash into trees, rocks, PWPs or other buildings they will break. You can also accidentally push them into the river or ponds or even off cliffs. If this happens a new snowball will spawn - this will happen after you enter and leave a building or go to Main Street.

If you save and reload before completing the snowperson, the snowballs will reset and you will have to roll them again.

Snowpeople
The four different types of snowpeople can give you gifts.

Snowman
The Snowman is made with a very large snowball as the base. He wears a top hat.

If you don't have a bingo card, talk to a Snowman to receive one. Keep in mind that the bingo card can't be dropped or thrown away. Then talk to a Snowman to get a new number on your bingo card. Each Snowman will give you one number per day. You can build multiple Snowmen in your town to get more bingo numbers per day. You can also get bingo numbers from Snowmen in other towns.

If you get five numbers in a line, vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, the Snowman will give you a prize and take away the bingo card. You can get a new one the next day.
