start with a bigger lens, if you have it.

venus is easy, she is up just after sunset in the east.

the rest depend on when they are up...

Jupiter, Mars, Neptune are on the far side of the Sun now, so wait a few months.

Uranus should be visible not far from Venus and Saturn, later at night.
 
Venus is easy, it's currently the brightest light in the sky in the evening.

Mercury is never an easy target as it is only ever up during twilight making it hard to spot, and it is not really ever high above the horizon which makes it tough to view. It's also not that interesting.

Both Jupiter and Mars are near solar conjunction right now (on the other side of the sun) so you won't be able to view them for a few months, and even then only in the early morning before dawn.

Saturn is nearing opposition and is rising around 9pm these days, and will continue to rise earlier as time goes on. You'll find it in the Leo constellation behind the "hind legs" of the lion. It's about as bright as the other bright stars in the constellation right now so it doesn't really stand out except perhaps to a person who is familiar with the constellation and notices the extra "star".
 
Mars and Jupiter are currently too close to the Sun (on its far side) to be visible. Mercury is also too close to the Sun, on its near side. Venus is a brilliant object visible in the southwestern sky every evening shortly after the Sun sets. Saturn rises around midnight and is located in the Constellation Leo, just under the large right-angle triangle that makes up the eastern part of the constellation. Because of Saturn's present position in its orbit, it's rings are seen almost edge on and may be difficult to see at present.
