Bruises/cold hands/f: These are not usual signs of anemia but if you have concerns; have him examined. All the best.

Reassurance : Toddlers and kids younger than 10-12 years old usually have small bruises on leg without any blood abnormality. Cold hand and feet have nothing to do with anemia. All symptoms consider ford usual/ normal condition for kids.

Expected patterns: Bruising along the front surface of the lower legs (knee to ankle) and outer surface of the forearms is pretty common in active kids.These are in areas over bones that often come in contact with furniture/obstacles in active kids. It has nothing to do with anemia.Cold hands and or feet doesn't either. If he acts fine/eats fine/ I would expect that he is fine...let him be.
