Look at the collaborative tools in the "Objects parts bin". Under  
plain Squeak you can open this window from World menu/objects. Under  
SqueakLand image, you can get the parts bin from the flaps.

Croquet is a possible/powerful answer, that goes beyond EToys.
But, you d'ont need Croquet if you just want EToys collaboration.
Note that it's already in OLPC see
