How do you know if your sidewalk chalk is toxic?

Most toys that are commercially made for child use have safety warnings on their packaging. It should be labeled "non-toxic" if it is safe but, if it is not labeled, you should call the Poison Control Center to make sure of it. Sidewalk chalk is made from calcium sulfate, which isn't harmful in small quantities, although, sidewalk chalk is made with other substances too, therefore, I would also suggest that you contact that product's production company to find out.
