Creating (Decorating) A Lion's Den
I know of one church that made a room into a lion's den by lining the walls with paper bags they had split open. (You could use paper dropcloth.)
Then they asked for stuffed animals and piled them across the floor.
Several of the animals had a name of a problem around its neck.
Kids searched under the pile til they found them all and then discussed them.
Older kids did some of the LABELING and thought it was fun to go lounge on top of the stuffed animals. Seems to me this idea could be greatly expanded on.

Wall mural - Daniel beside lion is painted on wall. Then a paper mâché rock (grey) was built out from the wall to create the look of a lion's den. On the rock (on the right) is a stuffed lion and the two lions on the left is actually a fur look blanket attached to the wall. They've inserted some grass between the rock and wall. May give you some ideas to create your own lion's den.
