Let’s look at the pattern of colored leaves in the top row.

We see:
- First leaf: yellow
- Second leaf: yellow
- Third leaf: red
- Fourth leaf: yellow
- Fifth leaf: yellow
- Sixth leaf: red

So the pattern is: yellow, yellow, red — and then it repeats!

That means every group of three leaves follows:
👉 Yellow, Yellow, Red

Now let’s check if that fits:

Leaves 1–3: yellow, yellow, red ✔
Leaves 4–6: yellow, yellow, red ✔

Perfect! So the pattern repeats every 3 leaves.

Now we need to color the rest of the leaves (the ones that are still white) following this same pattern.

Let’s number all the leaves from left to right, top to bottom, as they appear in the path:

Total leaves = 12 (count them!)

We already have colors for leaves 1 through 6:

1. yellow
2. yellow
3. red
4. yellow
5. yellow
6. red

Now continue the pattern for leaves 7 to 12:

Pattern repeats every 3: so positions 7,8,9 should be like 1,2,3 → yellow, yellow, red
Positions 10,11,12 should be like 4,5,6 → yellow, yellow, red

So:

7. yellow
8. yellow
9. red
10. yellow
11. yellow
12. red

But wait — looking at the image, some leaves are already colored or outlined? Actually, in the lower part, all leaves are uncolored (white with black outline). The instruction says “Color the fall leaves to complete the pattern.”

So we just follow the repeating pattern: Yellow, Yellow, Red, over and over.

Let’s list all 12 leaves with their correct colors:

Leaf 1: yellow (given)
Leaf 2: yellow (given)
Leaf 3: red (given)
Leaf 4: yellow (given)
Leaf 5: yellow (given)
Leaf 6: red (given)
Leaf 7: yellow ← color this one yellow
Leaf 8: yellow ← color this one yellow
Leaf 9: red ← color this one red
Leaf 10: yellow ← color this one yellow
Leaf 11: yellow ← color this one yellow
Leaf 12: red ← color this one red

✔ That completes the pattern correctly.

Final Answer:
Color the remaining leaves in this order: yellow, yellow, red, yellow, yellow, red.
