The present invention relates to a non-hardening clay composite used instead of typical clay, sand, rubber clay, paper clay, and so forth in recreation, education, modeling, and the like. The clay composite of the present invention does not harden, maintains the same properties for a long time, is used repeatedly without using water, and is eco-friendly. Using porous diatomite particles as a basic material, the clay composite having said new properties is formed by mixing and kneading a liquid material which is both hydrophilic and lipophilic. The clay composite of the present invention has the plastic quality of clay, the crumbling quality of soil, and the repeatedly collecting and scattering quality of sand, and is made into types of clay having different properties by adjusting the ingredients and the content of the composite. Also, being formed of a natural and eco-friendly material which is biodegradable and not harmful to the human body, the clay composite is suitable for extended sessions of play. Various functional materials, such as an antibiotic material, are held by the medium of porous diatomite, and the functional materials produce a continuous effect.
