Yes I do mean design in general. The book titled "The Design of Everyday Things" is pretty good IMO, but probably would only interest an older child. Maybe some of the work is to just point out that creating things people use requires making decisions and that whole process is "design."

I've found that a goal combined with play seems to be effective. People like learning if it is a way to build something they want to build. So maybe try finding something that the child wants to build and then get to design through that?
Absolutely love that book. :)
