If you want to look at it safely, you can make a simple camera obscura by making a small round hole (punching with a safety pin is what I did) in a piece of paper (a business card would work well), and holding that card between the sun and a piece of white paper or cardboard so an image of the sun appears on the paper.

Don't look at the sun with your naked eye or just with sunglasses, or you might have a black spot on your retina for the rest of your life.
