http://www.ccsi.com/~srogers/hobbies/rockets/bench/A good description with lots of pictures on how to build large lightweight rockets using a framework method. This is sometimes called "stick & tissue" or stringer & rib method. Using this technique, you can make very big rockets that are strong and very light weight.

http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/7286/How to use simple items to make cheap rockets. I personally don't recommend this method for smaller children, because it takes lots of practice to make parts that fit properly. Otherwise, the rocket is structurally weak, and is a disaster waiting to happen. But the method is OK for older kids with better construction skills.
