Make Your Own Dancing Baby Groot and Rock the Day Away

So, Groot. He stole the show from hero Peter Quill in Guardians of the Galaxy — if stealing the show from Chris Pratt is even possible. A monster-turned-superhero, Groot is an alien of few words, and if you stayed through to the credits of the movie (spoiler ahead), then you know he loves to dance.

Basically, we can't get enough of Groot, and neither could Patrick Delahanty of the Chibi Project, so he made a dancing baby Groot of his own using one of those weird old Movin' & Groovin' Flower toys. Patrick kindly posted the how-to on his Durandal Cosplay Facebook page to share with all tree superhero fans because "We are Groot," right?

Now make your own with Patrick's tips, and get down with Groot and the fantastic Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack.

This Groot wasn't made by Patrick, but is another incredible example of homemade Groots taking over the world! . . . We'd like for them to take over the world, anyways. Source: Reddit user theoopst via Imgur
