All you need is a cardboard box, tape, some white paper and tin foil.
To make the viewer:
- Cut two holes on one side of the box.
- Attach white paper on the opposite side of the box.
- Cover one hole with tin foil.
- Seal up the box.
- Poke a small hole in the tin foil.
- To use the viewer, face away from the sun. Line up the sun with the tin foil hole and look through the opening.
