A license plate frame for use, in combination, with a toy license plate, includes upper and lower horizontally extending sections and vertically disposed end sections extending between and integrally connected to the opposite ends of the horizontally extending sections. Each of the horizontally extending sections and end sections has a frontal wall that is substantially parallel to the plane of the license plate frame, and an outer enclosure wall extending rearwardly from the plane of the license plate frame. The frontal walls have a front surface and an opposing rear surface. The front and rear surfaces each terminate at an inner edge and an outer edge. The inner edges cooperate to form a display aperture. An inner frame wall extending rearwardly from the rear surface of each of the frontal walls, between the inner edge and the outer enclosure wall. At least two plate retaining flanges extend inwardly from the inner frame terminal edge. The license plate frame is shaped to receive a toy license plate having a front plate surface printed with a design, such that the design is displayed through the display aperture.
