Through the second half of November, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has red maple leaves blowing around players’ islands. Just like cherry blossoms and snowflakes, these are a seasonal crafting resource for some autumn-themed decor and clothing.
How to catch maple leaves in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
The first step in collecting a maple leaf is finding one. With fall coming to an end, you’ll see lots of tiny leaves floating to the ground, but these aren’t the ones you’re looking for.
You’ll be able to tell the difference because maple leaves you can collect are much larger, have a shadow, and stick around longer.
When you spot one, pull out your net. You can make a flimsy net from 5 tree branches or a net from 1 flimsy net and 1 iron nugget. You can also buy stylized and fun-shaped nets from Nook’s Cranny for 2,500 Bells.
Line up with the maple leaf, and swing your net just like if you were trying to catch a butterfly or other flying insect. If you’re having trouble, use the shadow on the ground to help your aim.
