Summer DIY Recipes

Summer Shell Series

Summer turns the island's grass a vibrant green and new bugs and fish will start appearing. You'll also experience the longest day of the year called the Summer Solstice, with the sun staying up in the sky longer than usual.

Note: Other Shell materials, excluding Summer Shells, are available all year round.
