Hard cook eggs: Place egg in a single layer in a saucepan and add enough room temperature water to come to at least 1 inch above eggs. Bring water to a boiling. Reduce heat to keep the water at a gentle boil and boil for 12 minutes for large eggs. Remove from heat and run under cold water until the eggs are cooled. Peel. (May be kept up for 1 week in refrigerator.) To make it fun and easy to go put eggs on a popsicle stick. Popsicle or craft sticks may be purchased at any craft store.
