Players will need to have crafted the flimsy axe and given a total of five critters to Tom Nook. Accomplishing these two tasks will lead to Tom Nook, inviting Blathers to the island. You will then need to pick a location on your island to set up a tent, which will eventually become the museum. Speak with Blathers when the character arrives on your island, and he will provide you with the recipe that will give you the ability to craft the flimsy shovel.

You will need to have five pieces of hardwood to craft this particular tool once you have the recipe from Blathers. Hardwood can be obtained by hitting trees with your axe. You will find that this tool is useful for doing things like digging holes or gathering iron nuggets. Unfortunately, the tool’s weak nature is not suitable for tougher resource gathering jobs you may have on your island.
