To enable support, shift + click "More Blocks" and the "Add an Extension" button will appear. From there you can select the LEGO WeDo extension. [1]
If your kids are into robotics, you may also be interested in MOSS - a modular robotic construction kit [2]. MOSS also supports Scratch programming, and in fact we are releasing our extension to the public this week (I'm the lead programmer on the project.), which we'll be announcing very soon.
We've been experimenting with Scratch in classrooms here in Boulder, CO, and we're amazed at how fast kids pick up programming concepts with Scratch!
