Snowmen in Animal Crossing ds

Snowmen are created when the character played by you rolls a snowball (found on the ground during winter) on to another, larger snowball. You receive an item if the head of the snowman is in perfect proportion to the body of the snowman. The item is a piece of snowman furniture, and each piece can be sold for 8,888 bells - many guess this is because the number 8 looks a lot like the shape of a snowman.
